We Wish You a Merry Christmas....

Christmas this year was so fun!  I feel like it was the first real Christmas for the kids, where they understood the concept of Santa (and actually sat on his lap and told him what they wanted) and were so excited about everything. So much fun for us to see our kids "believe" and be so amazed by all the season has to offer.  Christmas morning was a whirlwind and basically, if you've seen one picture, you've seen them all.  We took hundreds of pictures....and they all look like this...

I wasn't kidding when I said all Timmy needed was the train table.....this was ALL he wanted to do... 

Pretty much all of his pictures look like this...

Tim had to force him to sit on his lap to open anything...at least we got some smiles with trains.

The girls loved opening presents....

When looking through pics, I realized they weren't always happy with our choices of how we split things up. This sequence of pictures made me laugh...

The girls showing each other their presents.

Ooops :/

 Sorry, Kals! But who doesn't love Candy Land?!

The house was a mess by the time we were done! 

And then it was on to Grandma and Papa Stacey's to do it all over again...this time with a little nicer hair, more kids...

and more trains, of course!

 By the time we got to my mom and dad's house, this is pretty much how the kids felt about unwrapping ( SPOILED)...

 But it didn't seem to stop anyone from looking for more presents! 

It was a BUSY day, and sometimes I wish that Christmas could be a little more how I remember it when I was a little girl....a lazy day hanging out in my jammies and playing with all of my new toys.  But then I reflect on all the family, support and love we have around us and I feel so unbelievably lucky!  I truly wouldn't want it any other way!!!
