when you just can't wait

After the littles were all jammied up and bouncing off the walls wondering how they could ever fall asleep we decided to let them open one gift each.

This turned out to be a good idea. They were thrilled and they enjoyed the item that they got quite a bit. They played with it and then played with each others and had a wonderful time.

Sometimes Christmas morning is a little overwhelming and they can't really see and enjoy all they get.


One year when brother was two and a half he got a millennium falcon. He loved it. It happened to be the first gift he opened. He refused to open any others, instead he sat and played with that for hours. It wasn't until much later in the day that he was interested in looking at some more gifts. In fact he opened things for a few days a couple at a time.


We finally got the kids settled in their beds and the grown-ups spent some time assembling. Now the house is quiet and it's time to get some rest before the festivities begin bright and early tomorrow!
