Every year I try to figure out how I can extend Christmas. I am (or I think I am) a firm believer in waiting until after Thanksgiving. This year I almost didn't. I just love to see how magical it is for the kids and by the end, we are never ready to put it all way!

Christmas Eve
Christmas Morning
The kids were up at 6. We had to hold them back to get our cameras ready before they plowed through the Santa Trap in the hallway. Jack was very disappointed when he didn't see light sabers right away. He tossed everything out of his stocking in about 3 seconds flat, while Lucy sat with her stocking for a 1/2 an hour examining each item. It was fun to see the differences between them this year.
Lucy loved:
-her Rapunzel dress
-new shoes
-Snow White slap bracelet from Jack (thanks Dollar Tree)
-Ladybug pillow pet
-new pj's
-cheerleading doll from Grandma LaWanna
-pink big wheel
-fingernail polish
Jack loved:
-his new lightsaber/gun combination (he would have been satisfied with JUST this much)
-red big wheel
-new pj's
-Perfection game
-Mr. Potato Head
-penguin pillow pet
