Josh was not quite ready to get up in the morning...
I love this face of Megan's:
Lia was really excited about the sewing machine she got that was a surprise, which meant I was excited too.
Laura's favorite thing was a pink guitar, which soon become a red guitar after dad broke the pink one. (It wasn't his fault...Santa bought a cheap one the first time.)
Megan got the "Dora hat" she'd been talking about for weeks after seeing one at the store, and a Minnie Mouse from Aunt Luann and Aunt Kathleen that she'd also been talking about for weeks.
And Josh got some new roller blades, which he's pretty good on.
On Christmas Eve when Josh opened his new pajamas he said, "This is the worst present ever! I hate Christmas! I quit Christmas!" Apparently he thought there a toy in the present instead. Any normal parent probably would have been upset, but not when you have a Josh. We tried to keep the laughing to ourselves so he wouldn't think it was okay to say things like that, but it was hard because at the time it was pretty funny. And he redeemed himself on Christmas morning when he said, "I'm going to write Santa a letter and say, 'Dear Santa, you bring the best presents ever. Love, Santa'" (I'm pretty sure he meant to say "Josh" there). So, maybe he still thinks mom and dad give boring presents and only Santa gives good ones, but one day it will all work itself out when he realizes we are one and the same.
The rest of the day was great. We had an incredible sacrament meeting and then spent the afternoon and evening with both of our families. I wish Christmas was on Sunday every year, I loved it this year. And I love trying to make Christmas special for my kids, just like my mom and dad did for me.
