What a great day we have had! Happy Birthday Jesus!!
We were able to sleep in until 5:00 am and then I heard the sounds of little feet running up and down the stairs. By the time Payton and Carson got to my room they had already counted the number of presents under the tree that had their names on them! :)
I made them brush their teeth and we got Aidan up and headed downstairs to open gifts. I am so overwhelmed at how blessed we are. As I was watching our kids open gifts and Mike video tape them I had to almost pinch myself to realize that this really is my life...I have such amazing kids and a great husband. There is no place I would have rather been this morning. The kids were a lot of fun opening their gifts. I do have a funny story about Aidan. As all three were opening their very first present Aidan realized Payton and Carson each got a cool toy. When he opened his box and saw there was an outfit in it...he just looked at it...head bowed down. He wouldn't look up, wouldn't touch the box and wouldn't talk to us.... Reading his mind was easy.... "Santa...I just got jipped!" We made sure he had toy in the next one and he was much happier!
We had non home made cinnamon rolls for breakfast :) and enjoyed opening box after box and trying to figure out what to do with all of the garbage. We had a great lunch of ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy (for the kids), corn, Grandma Betty's home made mac and cheese and rolls. All of it was so yummy!
We headed out in the afternoon for some sledding fun but it was way too cold to stay out long!
All in all we had a fabulous day and I am looking forward to a week at home with the kiddos!
Merry Christmas to all and God Bless!
