Christmas morning is always so exciting! As a child you can't contain your excitement to go and see what Santa brought you, but as a parent you are so excited to just watch your children's faces light up with the excitement of what Santa brought them. Its a joyous morning for sure! Andie and Jake did not disappoint this year either.
We usually do a big Christmas breakfast before we open presents but we were a little short on time considering the kids slept in until almost 10am and we had to be to my parents house by noon to talk to my brother who is out serving a mission. The kids went right away digging through their stockings. In the toe of the stocking Santa left a piece of paper letting everyone know what wrapping paper was theirs to open.
Andie LOVED opening presents, she dove right into the fun! Jake wasn't to worried about unwrapping but the paper Andie pulled off her presents was very fun to play in. Jake walked around playing with old and new toys while drinking juice and eating some stocking snacks. He is a very chill kid easy to please.
Andie was so excited about all the gifts she got and was very spoiled but I would want Christmas no other way for her. Jake was spoiled as well and of course his favorite toys were Baymax Big Hero 6 ones. The excitement when Jake held his Baymax for the first time is ingrained in my head, INDESCRIBABLE! Andie loved all her presents from her carriage, to her socks and palace pets. Gosh I love my kids!
Jake wasn't to interested in opening the remaining of his presents so Andie gladly went to work opening his presents, to being excited for what he got and by showing him each gift. The relationship these two have is such a special bond.
Brooklyn was unable to open presents so she had her big sister to help her out too. Brooklyn I am sure will enjoy all her Christmas presents once she is older but for now at least I can dress her in cute pajamas and wrap her in her cute blanket :)
We have a tradition each year to have one shared gift for all the kids. Andie and Jake were not disappointed by any means as they got a new playhouse to play in! This year Zach and I were trying to expand our game collection so we were a little more spoiled then usual.
Zachary and I, had Andie help open our presents too. Andie was in unwrapping heaven (is there such a thing?)! We got new towels, games and some exercising equipment since that is our main focus this next year (to lose weight).
Christmas did not disappoint this year. We had so many gifts and feel so spoiled. We got to talk to my brother whom is serving, spend time with family members from out of town and went to my grandparents house as well for a small visit. Oh how fun Christmas really is for us when we have family and loved ones to celebrate this glorious occasion with! It was also Zachary's and my 9 year anniversary of being officially together, Merry Christmas :)
