Christmas morning had a typical start...Ella came in our bed about 6:30am and went back to sleep, then Easton woke up calling for me around 7:30am. I brought him into our bed for a minute to wake up Daddy and Ella.
The kids weren't overly excited about the presents, they seemed to be just taking it all in at first. But Ella quickly started opening the ones with her name on them.
It was great having my parents there with us.
Easton was a little grumpy in the morning and complaining about his tummy hurting. Half way through opening gifts, he got a little sick but after a quick shower he felt better and seemed fine the rest of the day.
Below, Ella was opening her spaceship. A last minute gift she asked for in her letter to Santa. I don't think she was even sure what a spaceship was when she asked for it, but I found a small model spaceship for her and when she opened it she said, "Mommy, this one has my name on it, but it's not really pretty." She thought she was opening someone else's gift!
Ella got her "Purple watering can"
And Easton got his "Blue umbrella"
Santa even got Mommy her own watering can too.
But at the end of the morning, Ella said this pillow pet was her favorite gift. Even though it wasn't even on her list.
Later in the day, the Hefner's arrived. We opened gifts with them, played, had a yummy Italian dinner, and then all the kids finished the chilly evening in the hot tub!
It was a Merry Christmas and fun to host everyone in our house!
