Merry Christmas Morning

Liam was very excited for Christmas morning. I was *sure* that this was the year he'd be up every hour, but he slept until 6am. In fact, I was once again up before him, pumping away so that we'd be ready to go when he got up.  The cutest thing ever was when he came into our room first thing and whispered in the sweetest little voice "Merry Christmas Mommy and Daddy" and came into snuggle with us. He didn't even mention the presents.  Such a sweet boy!  Wes told him to check and see if Santa came, and sure enough, he did!  The anticipation started and he read all the names on the presents waiting to open them!

He was so excited that Santa brought him a Misty Island Set and Annie and Clarabel. He said, "it's just what I always wanted!"

I bought this movie for Wes a LONG time ago.  We bought it one day at Costco and I didn't even think Liam saw it.  Well, we were walking through Target and Wes was looking at the movie and Liam said, "Hey Dad, that's the movie me and mom bought you at Costco for Christmas!"  Needless to say, he didn't do anymore Christmas shopping with me. We made that gift from Liam to Daddy. :D

Because it was just the four of us (and Addy slept through most of the present opening), we were able to really take our time. We set up Liam's train set and let him play with it before opening anything else.

Wes's mom crocheted lovely afghans for us. We love them. :)

Ugh.  I had to post the real-life Christmas morning photo of me.  Not pretty, but reality. ;)

Liam also had to go and see if the Reindeer ate the food. He found that Donner did NOT like the carrots and spit them out!  Naughty reindeer!

Addy finally joined us.  Here's me and my babies:

Addy got a Sophie the giraffe and an owl toy for her car seat from Santa. She's been good this year.

My parents joined us to exchange gifts and do stockings a little later in the morning.  Liam loved all the goodies in his stocking. 

All the fun pooped Addy out and she hung out in her swing during the rest of the present madness.

Wes picked out a Big Game Hunter Wii game for Papa.

Liam hit a big growth spurt recently and needed new clothes, so that's what my mom got him. My mom was smart because she knew he'd really not be interested in the clothes, so she put candy in with them.  She was right, he was more excited about the candy than anything else.

Liam got his sister a glow baby. She really likes it. :)

Uncle Larry gave Liam some books and they read them together. So sweet. :)

Addy got the cutest stocking with lots of fun little goodies too. You can see she enjoyed it. :)

We had a lovely Christmas morning! Stay tuned for a post about the rest of our day.
