This is what it was like this last Christmas morning as the Ramirez family joined us for the holiday week. There were 11 stockings and 7 children in all. Four of which got up at...I kid you not...3:00a all plotting and planning with great excitement what, if anything yet, laid under the tree for them. They were scolded and told not to do anything until at least 5:30a. Well, gotta' give them credit, at least they waited until 5:00a! The pandemonium that followed was just as expected.
It was nice to have two rounds of Christmas morning. There were still 3 little ones that weren't quite ready for the glee until around 8:30a.
When all was said and done, all the parents felt satisfied that their children were happy. And the laziness, relaxation, and try-outs of new toys began for the remainder of the day. Oh, how fleeting the Christmas season is. Why does it have to come and go so fast?
Awesome blog. Can't wait to get mine going. I may be calling you. The pictures were great. We had a great time too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful kids! Thank you for letting me come take a peek into your life. That is awesome that your husband did so much baking. I'm sure the neighbors were ecstatic! Also loved the pictures at Temple Square. Happy New Year! ~Summer Driggs
