Christmas Magic!

Brace yourself, we have a lot to discuss!!!

Santa must have known how good these kiddos have been through a very rough year...he sure treated them well.

Seems that he finally figured out how to deliver a truck, it's been a few years of asking from the boys little lips and hearts, and it finally came!

A table, books, cups, and candy! WOW!

And a bike for the little princess who would be in heaven with food, a set of wheels, make-up, a baby, and a binkie!

So, after this Christmas, we feel kinda BROKE...but don't you all?

We woke every child except for this little critter this morning, she woke with a wide eyed grin.

When I walked into Connor and Aiden's room, I said, "Boys, Santa came!!!" Connor usually stays in bed as long as he can every morning, but this morning, he heard the name Santa and jumped up before his eyes even opened. He sleeps on a top bunk; I almost thought he would jump right off the side...his eyes were sleepy, his movements quick and a little shaky with morning weariness, but he was determined!

I think Aiden was in a bit of shock!

But then his goofiness set in as he danced to the music on the radio...the RADIO in the truck!!!

Lydia's first exclamation was, "TRUCK!!!" She then realized that she had her own bike, and then she danced to the Christmas music on the radio too!

I love seeing a smile on this little guys face...he melts my heart!

Maya puckered, as is her normal expression, and took it all in!

Lydia adored her big doll...

And played with a ball...can you see the word "ball" rolling off of Steve's lips?

She then opened presents with me...I think this was a gift for both of us...a nice set of make-up. Liddy is a very girlie girl and gets into my make-up daily!

Maya helped Daddy!

And all three kiddos jumped into the car to eat some snacks!

Then, we ate some more!

Dreamed a little (Well, Mommy and Maya did!)

The boys played some games, and we all watched a movie...it was a wonderful relaxing day; magical, fantastic, and full of love! We ended with Christmas songs and the Christmas story...I guess we ended where it all begins, with our sweet baby Jesus.

May we all be just as excited and full of awe as we come to recognize the amazing gift He is to us...I believe He finds joy in the happiness we all feel on this very sacred day!

Merry Christmas!

Reverse order here...Christmas Eve to come!
