Christmas morning..... What a fun time!!! I love love love seeing the kids faces when they come down the stairs!!! For me the excitement starts on Christmas Eve when they are just so silly with excitement. Tom and I weren't real sure what would happen this year with Carsen as far as the magic behind Christmas but believe me it was not lost at all. He couldn't be a BIGGER BELIEVER which makes my heart so happy!!! For those of you who know my family well you know that my children get 3 gifts a piece just like the wise men brought to Jesus... We have been doing this since Carsen was a baby and couldn't be happier with the way it has turned out. Starting around Thanksgiving when all of those lovely advertisments come out tempting our children with what should be on their Christmas list my kids keep it to three things and if they change their mind about something they update their list accordingly so there is never more than three things each. This helps our family to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and not get lost in a sea of toys. My mom and dad always come over on Christmas morning and bring breakfast and we sit with the kids and eat and play with their new toys and just enjoy this time as a family!!! Later in the afternoon we go and visit Tom's family and have dinner and enjoy the holiday with them. It couldn't be a happier day!!!!
