The Joy of Christmas Morning

Carley Ann woke up first and she marched into Ethan's bedroom saying "Santa". Ethan sat straight up in bed barely awake. I had to get a quick photo because it was so cute. They took off to the Christmas tree as Ethan spotted their stockings overflowing with candy necklaces, hockey pucks, ornaments and lots of other cute little stocking stuffers. Carley had to put all the necklaces on right away. They both were so excited and it didn't take long for Carley to figure out what to do. Ethan's gift were wrapped with Spider man paper and Carley had the cute little Care Bear's. That made it so easy for them. They loved it! Ethan loved his new tool belt complete with tools, rod hockey game and giant dinosaur floor puzzle. Carley loved her pretty cradle, musical tea set and especially her little stuffed kitty. "Meow" is now her single favorite word! What a beautiful morning it was. It was still dark outside. The music was playing. I kept thinking of when I was little girl...

Thank you Aunt Margaret and Uncle Jeff for coming up to spend Christmas eve with all of us. It was very special with all the kids especially being baby Ben's first. Let's hope for some ice next year so we can take the kids out skating. Do you think you can still ice skate Jeff?
