Christmas with kids............. so enjoyable!

Christmas Eve we had over Josh's mom, grandma, grandpa and aunt, as well as my mom to play some games and visit before Santa came. The kids stayed up until after 9:30 pm so we weren't sure how early they were going to get up the next morning. It was around 7:45 am (they slept in) when the first one came into our room. Cohen finally woke Carter at about 8:20.

Janet came over to open gifts with the kids Christmas morning. I tricked the kids into thinking that Santa didn't come, as they were no "new" presents under our tree. I then mentioned that maybe he came down the other chimney where we have the little Christmas tree - and there were the gifts.

Cohen was so cute this year, he cheered every time he opened a gift and Carter tore into everything like a maniac - it was a success!

After the kids opened all the gifts from us, we got ready to go to Uncle Derek & Aunt Laurie's for brunch and to exchange gifts with cousin Kaden. We stayed and played there until just after noon and then went home for lunch /nap.

 Carter and I went to my mom's and Josh and Cohen went to his aunt's to visit. They came over to mom's for supper along with Derek, Laurie and Kaden. It was a wonderful day but we missed you dearly dad. Hope you were watching over us as we wished you were there.
