Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Our morning started out early with Tyler coming down the stairs and finding the one thing he really, REALLY wanted under the Christmas tree... a red Angry Bird. I was in my bathroom when Tyler came downstairs and I was bummed to not have my video recorder in hand to catch his excitement of seeing that Santa actually came and getting his Angry Bird, but he was spilling with excitement over his bird (now named "Feathers") all day. :-) There wasn't much to Kinley's wish list, but I think her favorite thing was her new pink and purple sippy cups. She has pitched some pretty good fits over wanting Tyler's (blue) sippy cups and now she has her own! She didn't know what was going on with the rest of Christmas and presents and wanted to eat the wrapping paper one minute and then seemed scared at the sound of the wrapping paper ripping the next. She got some fun things that I know she'll grow into loving. Of course, Tyler was all about ALL of his new things. He's at that age where it's extra fun right now and Santa may have gone a little over board, if that's even possible. He was happy that Santa left him a little note and not only did Santa bring the two things that he wanted (Angry bird and stuffed kitty), Santa brought Daddy what Tyler asked for him as well (a remote controlled helicopter) and as a bonus, Tyler got one too! It's nice having the house filled with new toys and fun activities to do. I'm excited for them and just loved seeing their sweet smiles on this special morning! :-)
