Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

The day began early, as most days around here do. Alex and Zachary dove right into their stockings.
Mady was a little more tentative, but soon she was right in the mix.

Well, she liked shaking the presents, but still didn't understand that it is more fun to unwrap them!
After a break for a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, Alex and Zachary were ready to open presents. In the past, it has taken us many hours, but this year, the boys were so excited, they took very few breaks and just wanted to know what was in the presents. So they finished up, and Mady and the parents finished up on our own schedule. In fact, Mady's schedule involved opening her last gift a couple of days later. The boys received a set of 3 instruments, so everyone can play together. We only managed to catch two kids playing at a time though.
Mady wanted to put her new sweater on immediately. As soon as she saw it, she started trying to take off her jammies so she could try on her new clothes.
Alex, the constructor, whipped through his new lego set and moved on to building a car and a plane.
We want to thank everyone for the wonderful gifts and we hope you had a wonderful Christmas season!
