Okay, so for the real good stuff! Christmas morning pics and vids!
I love wrapping presents and making them look beautiful! I consider it part of the decor for Christmas. As soon as I buy a gift, I must wrap it and put it under tree ASAP. It works for now, but I can only imagine it becoming a pure crime waiting to happen when I have children old enough to know what it means to sneak a peek. Until then, they will be beautiful!
The morning started bright and early at 7am. Little children coming from a time zone 8 hours ahead definitely know how to wake early for Christmas morning, even without understanding the excitement of an early Christmas. We taught Maya & Ethen the traditional Kimball song, "Here we sit like Birds in the Wilderness" as we waited to go in to see what Santa brought. My grandmother learned this song as a child and taught my dad, who made us sing it 3 or 4 times while we waited and now the new kiddos are learning it. What a fun, strange, tradition!
And then to the presents!
Star Wars characters cookie cutters and pancake molds
The super cute purse I got my mom. Totally impractical so she would never buy it for herself, but she loved it!
Ethen playing with his remote control car... for ages 8 and up. He's almost 2. Such a little man
Maya got a Little Mermaid princess dress and fin suit. But don't the forget princess heels!
