Christmas Morning


We had such a fantastic Christmas morning. We wrapped all Lily's gifts in Hello Kitty wrapping paper so she would know which ones were hers. 
Jason really enjoyed buying Xander his presents this year. He got this helicopter large enough for action figures to ride in. Every present he opened was followed by an "ooo wow!", "this is awesome!"or "I can't believe I got this!". 

 We need to work on Jason hiding the remote for the camera. :) 
 Our children definitely have different opening present styles. Xander is perfectly happy to unwrap a present, open it, and play with it awhile. He could easily stretch opening presents into an all day event. Lily on the other hand just loves the opening. She wanted to rip open one right after another and since she knew which presents were hers she just kept going back for more. We like to take turns in our house, so we were having to tell her to wait because it was not her turn. At one point she walked over to the tree, picked up one of Xander's presents, took it to him, and said, "Open it. Ok, my turn now." 
 Lily opening her big present. Although it is really for Xander too. 
 Her favorite things about the kitchen are the phone and pretending to wash her hands. 
I felt so blessed to have these two kiddos to share Christmas with.
