It happened. Finally. That magical moment that, as a parent, we wait for. That moment when our children rub their sleepy eyes, hop excitedly out of bed and rush downstairs to see the presents Santa left with a look of wonder on their faces.
Last year my little ones weren't very aware of the Christmas tree or that Santa was leaving them presents. This year, it was very different, much to our delight. Seeing them get so excited was just pure joy. It will be etched in my memory forever.
To make things even more special, G.G. (short for Great-Grandma) was here to join in the festivities on Christmas morning. She loved watching the kids tear open their presents and laughed at their excited antics when they saw what was inside.
The gifts that were big hits this year?
Well, there's the dress up Disney Princess trunk for our little princess:
And my little guy's 'Little Einstiens' game for his VSmile:
Hubby got a Ryobi saw, which he really needed. I got Wii Resort...which we still have yet to unpack and play.
One of the most enojoyable moments was watching Annaliese open the gift her brother got her at his Christmas Fair in school. He was given five dollars and a list of people to buy for, to which we only put his sister's name.
Annaliese opening Marcus' gift:
Aww, thanks Marcus!
It's a froggy puppet!
Most definitely the best gift of all was family and the time to savor the holiday with them.
That gift surpasses all others.
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Blessed New Year to all.

Don't know why, but Blogger just isn't picking up my edits on the different sized fonts. It's all supposed to be the same size. Oh well!
Hi Honey!
"Merry Christmas 2009" was absolutely endearing! You can actually feel what was going on just from your words! And the pictures were awesome! You really captured 'Christmas morning!' You're definitely 'a natural' at this and should be writing books (as your brother, Stephen would say!) Looking forward to more! I'll be sending you pix of our Christmas family dinner also.
Love you much,
Mommy
