Our Christmas morning was celebrated on the Saturday before Christmas day so we didn't have to drag all of the kid's presents to Ste. Genevieve. Chloe got up at her typical time around 7, but Preston slept a little later until 8ish or so! Luckily Chloe wasn't quite aware enough this year to remember when she got up that it was Christmas, so I was able to keep her in our room for a long time.
There were a couple of unwrapped gifts left by Santa that they discovered first thing and were excited about. Then a note was discovered. Our Elf, Oddie Joey, whom the kids had a lot of fun with this holiday season had gone back to the North Pole and left a note for the kids! We have had several questions since he left, about when he will come back! :)
Preston and Chloe enjoyed unwrapping gifts and seeing all of their new toys. Their joy is just awesome to see! Oh to be a child again and experience this type of joy and happiness! There are so many pictures, you will have to visit our
Picasa page to see all of them. Enjoy a child's excitement of Christmas day:
I love Preston's face here
Chloe is excited too!
Chloe's computer!
She found a big present! I don't have a good picture of it, but it is a Disney Princess Castle
Chloe got her own cape and had to put it on immediately - and then Preston had to go get his as well!
Chloe's own Bible - although I am pretty sure this has ended up in Preston's room
She ate lots and lots of candy this morning...
Daddy loved putting together toys :)
Dancing Aerial - she didn't make it through the morning unfortunately
Batman!
Princess Castle! Looks like Batman found his way there :)
We very much enjoyed our Christmas at home, but there was so much more in store once we got to Ste. Genevieve....that will come later :)
Have a fantastic Monday!!
