What a blessed Christmas we had as a family this year! Kenny didn't have to leave for work until 6:00 so we had a nice relaxed day together. Leslie was up at an unnatural time as usual, but it was so cute when Luke got up and she took him to open his stocking. We could hear them on the monitor and Leslie was talking him threw all the stuff he got, really sweet! Then when Liam woke up she took him and did the same. She really loves special holidays and the little traditions that go with them. When Kenny and I finally got up they were all ready to rip into the gifts. Luke was really in to it this year, I think this is the age when kids realize that every gift has something else for them, so they just want to keep on ripping! Liam on the other hand was happy with the first thing he opened and had to be really encouraged to open anything else! Leslie was pretty happy with her gifts as well, especially her new bike. She was hard to buy for this year because she is getting out of the toy stage and everything she would like is expensive. So luckily she really likes clothes and was happy to get a bunch of them!
So we spent the morning open toys and stuff for them to check out and I was glad we could let them play all day with their new stuff. It can be hard at this time of year to have no other family around, so I try to look on the bright side of it. No other houses to visit, no schedules to work out and staying home all day Christmas as a family and enjoying each other!
I must say I love this after Christmas high, with all the new toys for them to enjoy and stay busy with, I just hope we don't have to big of a crash when the newness ends!
I love my family!
