Christmas Day!!!!

Christmas morning the adults were actually up BEFORE the kids were!! They slept until nearly 8! They were both thrilled to see that Santa had come and they had managed to stay on the nice list, so he brought them what they had asked for. Devin had been eyeing his present from Lizzy for weeks(and Lizzy had been talking it up), so he had just one thing on his mind when he came out! After admiring what Santa brought they dove into taking turns opening gifts. And once everything had been seen they went right into playing with their new fun things! Tony prepared our traditional french toast, hashbrowns, bacon and sausage breakfast that we shared with my parents who had come down to watch the kids open presents. It was a very yummy breakfast! Then the kids played some more, while Tony and I chatted and watched them. Just after noon we drove down to my grandparents house where we visited for a while, then drove slowly and leisurely to Tony's parents' house. We got there early, but the kids had fun playing just the two of them, and we helped and chatted. Soon enough it was time for a delicious Christmas dinner! Then it was downstairs to open presents. Lizzy seriously struggled with her patience, and I actually had to pick her up and drag her out of the room and she threw herself on the floor because it wasn't her turn yet. We had a serious come to Jesus/ true meaning of Christmas/shape up or ship out talk, and she corrected her attitude perfectly! The kids got some really fun stuff, and as always love being with their cousins, even Devin played with them a bit! We chatted, had some dessert then went home and called it a wonderful Christmas day!

Santa came!
