I wish I could have captured the excitement level that Ben had Christmas morning. He tried charging down the hallway a couple of times before we hauled him back in to our room and explained to him that he had to wait for his sister! Emma woke up not too much longer after Ben and sort of stumbled into our room – wearing her Santa hat! It was all I could do to keep them contained until Lennard could get a fire started and the video camera ready. We started at about 6:30am. We let them open their stockings and then we had family prayer.
Both kids gravitated to the biggest presents they could find and wanted to open them first. There were so many presents that they couldn’t stand not having them all opened all at once!
We took our time and enjoyed each gift. They definitely got an overabundance of gifts. (Thanks B&T for all your thoughtful presents!)
After a nice relaxed afternoon, we headed out to my parents home again and had dinner with everyone there. It was nice to be able to visit with them.
