Christmas Day!

Christmas morning is SOOO exciting.  Xander and Maya came downstairs to find that Santa had eaten the cookies that they left for him and Rudolph ate the yummy celery too.

After that discovery it was time to open stockings.



The only thing that Xander wanted for Christmas was an airplane with a button.  Xander had been talking about this airplane for months.  The look on a child's face when opening that special present is absolutely priceless.  Of course the subsequent happy dance is pretty good too.


Xander wanted to show his airplane to everyone!


After stockings we opened up the last door on the advent calendar to find a giant star to put on top of the advent tree.


We were able to keep the kids calm enough to eat some breakfast before opening the rest of the presents.  I will not spoil my children, I will not spoil my children, I will not spoil my children.  Really, I won't.


Xander made me a wonderful picture frame for christmas.  I can't wait to get a photo of him to put in it.  Where am I going to find one of those I wonder...


Maya was very excited, but not entirely sure what to do with all these presents.  Mom was a big help.


Ready to hit the powder.


Woah, that's a big one for Maya and Xander, what could it be?  A new art easel for the kids.  Xander and Maya both love to paint.




And a few more presents just for fun.  A remote control truck for dad, I mean from dad, and a singing puppy dog, Violet, for Maya.  Maya loves music.


Of course, no christmas would be complete without getting out my old roller skating teddy bear.  The kids thought it really fun.  Amazing that it still works after all these years.
