Christmas Eve/Morning

This time of year is so special to us watching the kids have that Christmas joy.
The kids got Santa's cookies and milk ready, as well as carrots and water for the reindeer. 
They could hardly contain themselves before bedtime!
 After watching Polar Express the kids fell fast alseep.

 Every year I rope off the top of the stairs with a note that reads, "Please wait for the music." Once they hear the Christmas music they have the go to tear through the crepe paper and make their way down to see the gifts.
And they are off!
 Proof Santa was here! They even received a note from Micah as it was his last night to be with us on Christmas Eve.
 Oh, the joy!
 What would a gift for Emma be without a stuffed animal. Within about 2 minutes of this picture our little Houdini managed to remove the squeaker and about 3/4 of the stuffing.
 Jason got these hand carved candle holders from India for me and his mom. They look so nice when a tea light is lit.
 Snap Circuits, Chess, K-Nex, Dream Lite, Ninjago, Legos, Paper Airplane book and Avengers movie are some of the items Jackson got.
 Dream Lite, My Little Pony, Little Pet Shop, Zoobles, Fur Real Dog, Brave movie, Spot It game are some of the items Grace got.
 She is "organizing" her toys. Like mother like daughter.
 Yaya made us this amazing crocheted blanket! We love it!
 The rest of the day we relaxed, played with new toys, watched movies and had dinner with the Greens. It was a fantastic, memorable Christmas!!
