We had our family Christmas this morning with the kids. We woke them up around 7, still dark here and told them that Santa had delivered some of their Christmas gifts early. Because we will be in Iowa seeing Grandmas and Grandpa, Santa made a special exception. They ran down the stairs, still a little sleepy eyed and started looking for their names on the packages. Max kept saying "what's it gonna be?" while he opened his. Holyn reacted a little like Uncle Chris used to and got very excited tearing at the papers. They were very polite and thanked Santa and Mom and Dad for all the gifts. They even shopped for Mom and Dad on their own at school (the school sets up a little store called the Christmas Boutique and all the kids bring a couple bucks and buy for their family members). Dad got a flashlight/toolbox from Max and a pair of thermal socks and screwdriver gadget from Holyn. Mom got a pair of fuzzy gloves from Max and chocolate from Holyn. The kids even bought for each other, Max got a puzzle and dissolving egg from Holyn and Holyn got a fuzzy frog stuffed animal from Max.
