Oh what a Christmas it has been!! Such a wonderful day with the the whole family being together in the morning and getting together with friends in the afternoon!
The kids awoke just before 8am and Bobby was anxious to see what what Santa had left for him. We made him wait in his room for awhile so we could get the camera and make sure that Amaryllis was clean. He did mention that he could see some stuff from his bed, crazy sneaky child. Then we let him loose down the hallway. Santa had wrapped everything, except for Amaryllis' BIG present, which Amaryllis went right to ad LOVED! Santa got her a doorway playhouse. She enjoyed opening the door and windows, and ringing the doorbell was fun too!
While she played, we let Bobby dive into the pile of presents. He enjoyed figuring out who's present belonged to which person. He loved ALL his stuff and got his FP3 Player, and Santa even knew he liked Peter Pan music because it was on the player!
After all the presents were opened and the stocking gone through, we had bacon and french toast for breakfast. Bobby ate at least 3 pieces of french toast within a matter of minutes and Amaryllis ate almost 2 slices herself! Afterward, she went to take a nap.
10:00am we turned the TV onto ABC to watch Disney's Christmas parade and Bobby got out another toy that he had gotten from Beca and Pappy, a Disney Hero's Fort. Boy did he love this toy and played with it (with about a fifteen minute break to eat lunch) until we left for the Billman's house at 2:30pm!!!
We enjoyed our time at the Billman's. The kids got to open a few more presents and we ate a wonderful dinner with friends. After, the Wii's came out (yes, that's plural, so the adults could play on one and the kids on the other). It was a nice relaxing time with friends. We got home around 9:30pm and put the kids to bed and now I"m ready to wind down too.
I would be posting pictures now too, BUT the batteries to our digital camera's died!! Perfect timing, huh? So Bob was sweet enough to run to Walgreen's last night and pick up a disposable one. Hopefully I haven't lost the knack for taking pictures on regular film, and waiting to see what they look like is a bummer too. But with that and the video camera, I know that we will have the memories saved!
And with that, I hope that everyone who reads this has had a very Merry Christmas, full of love and peace and giving!
