So, about 4am on the 25th, Steve found Shiloh standing in the bathroom. "I can't sleep," she declared. At 5am, I woke up and noticed the tree lights on in the living room. Come to find out, our little princess had fun scoping out the presents .. and tried to open one wrapped only in paper bags but said she stopped b/c she thought the noise from the paper would wake us up. Thankfully, all slept until almost 8am.
I think every present was opened by 9:30am. At this age, we haven't tried opening gifts one-at-a-time, although I'd like to when they get older. But for now, it's enjoyable to just watch them in all their excitement, tearing into every present with sheer delight.
This Christmas was especially enjoyable for me. Shiloh and Landon are old enough now to understand the true meaning of Christmas and yet still enjoy gift giving in all of it's glory.
Sawyer watched The Grinch enough times that he would say, "da Ginch take a peasents away." He got a remote control motorcycle. "Watch thiss," he'd say, as he pushed the button to make it go round and round and round in circles.
Baby Cake has no clue what's going on. She was happy just tearing up the paper and watching Sawyer's motorcycle go cruising by. I love this picture of her, b/c this is how we often find her ... holding something, anything to her head and sucking on her other thumb. She sleeps like this too, with her blanket over her head and her thumb in her mouth.
Landon's sporting new glasses too, as he broke his first pair. Now he's got plastic like me. Hopefully they'll be more durable. Such a good looking boy!
