The kids woke us up around 7:00. I was surprised and thought they would sleep in a little longer. They never wake up that early. We waited a little bit and begged Cirdan to get up (even I partook of the begging). Jett also had to be awoken.
Kids excitingly coming down the stairs!
The first things that the kids saw were their bikes. They were instantly elated and overwhelmed. Santa figured since we now have a cul-de-sac for the kids to play in this would be a perfect time to get each of them their own bikes.
Jett diving in the presents
They first opened stockings (as tradition goes)
Then came the presents.
Ella absolutely loves cereal so of course she had to get a box.
Kaiya was not thrilled about the Justin Bieber Cd. It's all an act though...she really wanted it but had to act like she didn't.
Buzz Lightyear!
Cirdan was pretty thrilled to open up his gift. I think he was looking at the girls in this picture...acting excited.
Ralph Lauren fancy boxes. They were wrapped up all nice and neat.
Cirdan got me a beautiful mirror. He bought it to go in our room but it is much to pretty in our room so it will go in the dining room. He also got me a really nice, big jewelry armoire, which will fit all my jewelry.
The kids all got everything they wanted (and more).
After everyone got cleaned up and ate breakfast the kids were itching to go outside to ride their bikes. It was raining (of course), so Cirdan took them out will I took a few pictures then ran back into the house.
Where is this poor little boys hat or coat?!
Christmas evening we went over to Nathan and Amy's house for Christmas dinner. Kaiya went to her dad's house. I asked Junior what they were doing that night and if they had nothing to do they could come eat dinner with us. He agreed (which surprised me) and said they would love to come over. I love being in a place in our lives were we can all be friends and it's not weird. We all have one thing in common. Kaiya.
