We had a wonderful Christmas. It was so nice to stay home and enjoy our little family. As a tradition we let the kids open a present Christmas Eve. It is always the present Granny Nette and Papa Joe's send-which is ALWAYS pajamas! Derrick was so excited that him and Owen's matched.
Here is a picture of them. Right before we sat down to watch Despicable Me!
In this picture we told them to give us their "pretty" smiles!
Derrick ended up falling asleep at 7:00 Christmas Eve. Since his normal bedtime is 8:30, I thought it would be fine. By 10:00 ddecided to put the "SANTA" presents out and go to bed. By 10:30 Derrick had woken up giddy with excitement! After a quick scare of him going into the living room, he was sequestered to our room. THEN out of no where the BABY and RIE woke up! I finally gave up on keeping everyone in the room, threw a blanket over the "Santa" gifts, and dragged the kids out to the living room to watch a second helping of Despicable Me.I was surprised that no one went near the blanket! After Despicable Me was over, we watched another movie-I have no idea what it was-I think it was Monster Inc. BY 2:30 everyone was back to sleep and snug in their own beds! Christmas morning, everyone slept in until about 9:30. They probably could of stayed in bed longer, but I was just to excited, so I woke them all up!
Christmas Morning was filled with wonder and excitement as the kids opened their presents. I loved watching their faces as the discovered what was under the wrapping paper. I also loved watching the two older ones giving each other hugs, and helping Owen unwrap his presents. Riley who LOVES pigs, recieved a stuffed one as her Santa present (a Scentsy Buddy). We thought she would fall in love, we were wrong. She tried to give it to Owen. WHY? She wanted the guitar Derrick had recieved! Now, that the jealousy of the guitar has worn off, she is in love, and cuddles it everynight as she is falling asleep. Owen-we could have wrapped up boxes and he would have been happy. I guess he does like the camera Derrick got for him-it SINGS! Derrick's favorite present(s) by far were the bakugans. They are little round toys that transfrom into dinosaurs. He is now saving his money so he can by them battle gear?!
It was a wondrful Christams, and just like last year I enjoyed spending it at home with our little family. Next year I want to make it more magical and add some new traditions!
Our little heart breaker!
Riley LOVE books, this year I think she got around four or five!
Derrick's FAVORITE present(s) was the Bakugan's. He got 4!

Rie as cute as can be with her big grin and her cut off bangs!
