Christmas Morning

I have a sneaking suspicion that we were done opening presents long before most of you were even opening your eyes. Our boys are such early risers and this morning Brandon was up at 5:06 asking if he could go downstairs and see if Santa had come. It was shear torture for Brandon to have to wait until 6:00 before we would let them go downstairs.

Santa brought Brandon & Eric remote control dinosaurs! Wow!! And Grandpa Pat got them some walking/ roaring dinosaurs also. They got lots of neat things. Kyle was very content to just sit in his chair with one little toy and just watch all the goings on. I would like to say that the kids were extremely grateful and thanked us over and over again but ... well, they are already talking about what they want for Christmas next year. We love our kids but Dave swears that next year they get one Santa gift and one gift from us.

Dave spoiled me as always. He got me a Blackberry Pearl which I have no idea how to use. I have never had my own cell phone so this will be a new thing for me. He also got me lots of other little things. Plus I got a new digital camcorder before Thanksgiving as one of my "Christmas" gifts so I am thoroughly spoiled. I have a very wonderful husband who loves to spoil me. My dad got me a Christus statue for my mantel that I had been wanting. Thanks dad! And Ryan & Alisa gave us a FANTASTIC gift. Babysitting coupons ... one for each month of the year. We will definitely be using those!

I got Dave a couple pairs of basketball pants, a really nice pair of leather boots to wear on his motorcycle and filled his stockings with some goodies. I feel bad that I didn't have more things for him to open but he keeps saying that his motorcycle was his Christmas gift this year. Dave is the type that just goes out and gets what he wants when he wants it do it's hard for me to get him anything because he pretty much has what he wants. I tease him that he is turning into Clark ... impossible to buy for!

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day and take a moment to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.
