Christmas Day

The kids woke up before 6am on Christmas morning. They had been warned not to wake us up before 6:00, so they went into the playroom and were distracted by the tv for another hour. When they finally dragged us out of bed, we went down to the living room and dove into the presents that Santa left us. All three kids received very large stuffed animals - Madeleine got a cheetah, James a panda and Charlotte a unicorn. Santa also gave each of us nerf guns and a mid-morning nerf battle ensued. Madeleine finally received the desk for her room she has been begging for. James got a race track with Bugatti and Lamborghini race cars (he asked for a Bugatti for Christmas). And Santa brought Charlotte a display case for her taekwondo belts and a scooter. 

Later that afternoon we headed over to my parents' house to celebrate Christmas with my family. We missed having JeanMarie there but otherwise it was a happy celebration.
