So Christmas morning the kids came running in like maniacs to see their loot. Santa brought them Zhu Zhu Hamsters and a lot of books. Steven was so excited over all the books he didn't know which one to start with.
Sophia got an ipod - cause that is what she asked for. Now before any of you start in with "she's only 2 blah blah blah" she works that thing better than me. She has more apps than any of us.
"see Daddy I told you Santa was bring me an ipod"
As you can see Bella was more than thankful for the makeup Santa left for her....
OK so there was a note for Samantha from Santa with a phone # she had to call. When she dialed the # a phone hidden in the living room started ringing. The kids frantically look all over and Samantha finds a new cell phone. She FREAKS OUT!!
I mean the "jumpin for joy" kinda freak out
She seriously can't contain herself and Sophia is just looking at her like she has lost her mind...
over 100 texts were sent on this day - Santa made sure we had an unlimited text plan:
Oh Sophia got her pretty Belle dress:
She couldn't get it on quick enough:
Anthony thinking " that's great Santa all I get is this stuffed Winnie the Pooh"
"Well it's good enough for me to eat"
the aftermath.... oh but really quick: you see on the right side on this picture the white thing hanging off the couch. Well that my friends is my cloud - OK it's like sleeping on a cloud. Steve tracked down the bedding which is used at the Hay Adam's hotel in DC. I have been telling him for years to figure it out. I can't tell you how many times I have tried to steal it from the hotel but it's so big I've never been able to get it into a suitcase. It has caused many of problems now because I am no longer able to get out of bed and I've only just recently started sharing it with Steve.
One more thing - every year we try not to go crazy with the kids because they really don't need anything but also because they get so much from the rest of the family its gift overload. We always worry that the kids don't get it and just want the gifts. Well after this christmas we realized we must be doing something right. After they ran into the living room to see all that Santa left behind they didn't want to open any of it. It was more important for them to give me the gift they had all picked out. Steve and I were so taken back. Here they were surrounded by a ton of gifts but it was more important for them to give than receive. That was the best gift Steve and I got!
