I always go back and forth between taking pictures and just enjoying the moment. This year was spent just enjoying the time with the kids. We went to mass yesterday afternoon at 3 pm, came home and the boys opened gifts from us, and then had dinner, and played some more. Ted got out of school last Friday so they felt like they were waiting forever to open gifts. Bob and I didn't finish shopping until Saturday when we dropped the kids off at the church to play while we shopped together. We didn't put any gifts under the tree because the temptation would be too great. I was mostly worried about Nate but I wouldn't be surprised if Harry would have opened something and then claimed to forget. Our tree is in the basement and I realized after I got down there that I forgot to take the camera down. Bob went down and wasn't too worried about pictures. I thought maybe we could get pictures in the morning while they were opening gifts from Santa.
Ted and Harry got up first this morning. They checked things out in the basement and then came upstairs to tell us it was the best Christmas ever. Ted and Harry each had a soccer ball under the tree from Santa and Nate got a sled. They also had stockings filled with goodies and a couple more presents under the tree each. Nate got up and I heard them say that they brought Nate's sled up to the main floor. As I was coming out of the bedroom, Nate was opening one of his gifts too so I almost missed it. We decided to let Bob sleep and see what Santa brought later. We spent the day playing with the new toys. Ted and Harry also each got a new game. Harry got a WordWorld matching game and Ted got travel sized Battleship. Both seem to be big hits with them.
