Christmas Morning

I'm thinking that each Christmas is just going to get better and better as the kids get older and even more excited about what's going on.  This year was tons of fun.  I thought for sure they would be up at the crack of dawn, but Harper was the first one up at 7 and I was able to hold her off until 7:30 when Handley woke up.

Harper was so happy to see her "big" chair

After checking out their first stash from Santa, Harper happened to look over and saw the really big thing they had asked for.  They keep calling it a "Jeep" because that was what they had asked for, but because Santa didn't want Hudson to have to drive a pink Barbie Jeep as he got older, so he went with something that would make everyone happy for years to come.

Unfortunately it rained most of the day so they couldn't take a drive right away, but later on Robby set them up so they could at least test it out.  And they LOVED it.

After enjoying their Santa gifts we enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared by Gigi and Papa and then it was time to open gifts from each other.  Robby gave Handley her very own pink wake-board and she was definitely thrilled about it.  Robby bought himself one, too, so now they are really ready for summer.

Handley thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone open the gifts she had given them and would run over and hug each person with a huge smile on her face.

After spending the afternoon around the house we made our way to Gigi and Papa's for more gifts and a Christmas dinner.  It was a fantastic ending to a fantastic day.
