Presents!

Micah carefully sorted candy from his stocking

Christmas day was so fun!  My parents sent their gifts and after our trip to Bismarck our gifts were finally under the tree.   The kids were so excited to see what was in all those mysterious packages and could not wait to see what Santa was going to leave in their stockings. 

Christmas is more fun every year.  The kids are a little more aware and excited as they get older. 

This was also the first year any of the kids have asked for anything specifically.  Grace begged for Hungry Hungry Hippos and we decided it would be a good gift for the whole family.  Other than that we gave the kids one or two items each.  It was so fun to watch them play with their new things all morning.  The fact that they all play with their gifts every day makes me feel better about adding more stuff to the piles that they already have. 

I wish we could open presents every day. I think I love watching their faces when they see the presents almost more than they like getting them.
