Since we always end up traveling for the holidays, we've never enjoyed a Christmas morning at home with our kids. So this year, we decided to try something different. I told Pumpkin that I sent Santa Claus a letter explaining our predicament and got special permission from him to open our own gifts a few days before Christmas Day. I explained to Pumpkin that we were only opening the gifts we gave each other, and that they still had to wait until Christmas Day to open whatever gifts Santa brings. Pumpkin was soooo excited!
Friday night, we dressed the kids in their new Christmas pj's and put them to bed. Then, QT & I stayed up for a few more hours wrapping gifts, assembling toys, cleaning up, and getting food ready for the next morning. It wasn't so bad. We were probably in bed by 2:30 AM at the latest.
In the morning, well...I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story. Even Sunshine got a gift (and loved it!) as you'll see. Merry Christmas Everyone! We're looking forward to the nice, warm, Texas weather. :)
