Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! The kids woke up around 8am, which was shocking but nice. We couldn't believe they woke up so late. They ran down and jumped on Marky Karky to tell him Santa came. They all came up and we opened presents. It was so nice. Lili woke up shortly after that and she just wanted Papi and nothing else. After a while, she got down and opened some presents. She opened two presents and was done. They made noise and she wasn't interested in anything else. The other girls however, were going crazy with everything Santa brought them. They kept opening and opening. They wanted to stop and play with what they had already opened. Then after presents, they just played. It is the coolest feeling just sitting back and watching your kids enjoy Christmas so much. It was surreal. Santa left a note back to the girls, telling them he does love his job and thanked Isabel for reminding him about Marky Karky being here.
It was such a nice laid back day. Mark took Gaby and Isabel birding with him and they had fun. We weren't finished cleaning up Christmas morning when Sean & Erika got here. Dave and Holly came back over for a bit. We did our adult present exchange, then Dave and Holly were off to Holly's parents house.
We had a nice dinner with Mark, Sean, Erika, & the kids. Santa brought a few movies so we all went down and watched one of the new movies. Then the kids played and it was just a wonderful day being with everyone and watching the kids have so much fun. Merry Christmas everyone. Hopefully yours was as wonderful as ours!
