We started off the lovely Christmas morning with our traditional picture on the stairs. For some reason we didn't get Mike in there, the kids were to excited to come down and see if Father Christmas had come. We actually got to sleep in Christmas morning until 9 o'clock, which is a rarity. Carter did come to our bed with excitement at about 7, but after such a long night on Christmas Eve we persuaded him to cuddle with us and try to rest a bit more. I would recommend sleeping in for such a busy day.
The kids were instantly thrilled to see they were good little children and Santa thought so as well, the tree had presents abundant and the kids weren't sure where to start!
The stocking dive began with each child finding chocolate and treasures galore within. Mason, of course, started to devour the sweets straight away with the intent to finish them all before even starting with the unwrapping of gifts.
Let the unwrapping begin!
On Christmas Eve we went to see the newest Narnia movie and went out for dinner afterwards. We were exploring the toy store and Carter found a magic eight ball. Mike told him how it worked, and Carter was whispering things in it for awhile. One of the things he asked was if he would receive his Spy Kit he asked for, it magically said, "yes!" He was so excited to see if it was true, his face says it all!
What a fabulous Christmas, and how spoiled my children were. It was such a joy to see their wonderful faces and excitement over things they had hoped for and received. They were all so happy about each other getting things, it was cute to see them watch each other with such joy. After we opened our lovely gifts we set off with battery filling, un-boxing, and playing with great enthusiasm. It was a wonderful day spent with our little family.
