The kids were locked in their room,
Screaming to get out.
There were stockings to reveal on Christmas Eve Day,
We didn't make the kids wait until night.
The stockings never seem big enough
For the little things we find to give.
Here are a few snapshots of the fun!
Sitting in front of the couch, trying our best not to peek.
Uh-oh. We have a peeker or two!
Trying to be good and patient!
The kids were so excited they could hardly talk. Their favorite presents were the stick ponies. One for each of them.
Checking out their gifts: a few DVDs, underwear for the boys, stick ponies, Hot Wheels cars, space ships, Pretty Ponies, puzzles and a few books.
What's next?
Reaching for more.
Emmet and Eden with their ponies.
Eliza kissing her pony.
The boys got glow-in-the-dark stars.
We followed up the evening reading Follow the Star. It is a children's book about the camel who carried the wise men's gifts to Baby Jesus. Christmas Eve Day was a great day for our family to enjoy each other.
