The traditional picture on the stairs:
And then our tradition of oldest to youngest….
Lorelei started in,
Then Elliot was too anxious, and came zipping around the corner! HA!
Tru
Tuck.
They were excited to see the presents, We unwrapped and enjoyed,
The big surprise this year, was the kitchen, table and chair set. It’s already gotten some good use!
I love this fun picture, Christmas Happiness.
And then some video (Thanks Toph)–
for Historical Sake of the unwrapping craziness:
A few things from this year to remember:
Tucker HATES the fact that Santa wraps up clothes, like socks and pants. But all other presents, just thrill him, and just bring out the hugest smiles, and excitement.
Truman was a little sad that Santa didn’t hear his request for a Nintendo DS, but after some re-evaluation, decided it was a pretty good christmas after all. He has spent hours playing with all of his toys, and ate most of the 3 huge bags of candy within 4 or 5 days.
Elliot could have been happy with one pack of squinkies. And just wanted to open his toys and play with them, instead of continuing to unwrap them all. He is now the squinkie king, he eats, drinks, and sleeps squinkies. They go with him everywhere.
Lorelei was not sure what to make of the whole big mess…she just kept crawling around, and watching her siblings. When she did unwrap her play food for the kitchen, she was excited and wanted to taste every single piece.
