A playdoh puppy rests beside the keyboard while I type this. New books cover the coffee table. A toy microphone is laying across the Woody doll on the floor as they probably just finished a loud concert of mixed up Christmas carols. And it makes me smile because it represents the magic that took place in this room on Christmas day. You two were spoiled with goodies and, even though we forgot to leave out our milk and cookies, Santa was sure to stop at our house.
Y'all slept in until 7:30 and we cuddled in bed until 8:00. That's when we finally broke the news that Santa visited! I think all four of us ran to the tree at that point : )
You both went straight for the train table and were in awe that Santa knew how to build train tracks!
Then you found the scooter and had to take a test run through the house
Jax, you tore right into those presents and knew exactly what to do!
Colt, you needed a little more guidance but you're figuring it out.
We were unwrapping until 9:00 when we realized how hungry we all were. Breakfast consisted of pecan rolls and candy and we were too busy stuffing our faces to take pictures.
At 10:00, we turned on the computer and finished up our presents via Skype.
After all was said and done we just let you boys have at it as you played with as many things as you could before lunch time.
When naptime rolled around, we each took advantage of it! We finished up our day next door with Bill, Norma, and Mitchell eating steaks, playing games, and laughing - a lot (like always).
It was a fabulous day and the only thing missing was having our extended family here. While computer dates and phone calls are great, nothing compares to the real thing. So I'll warn you now, my loves - for me, Christmas is you. Go ahead and pencil us in for the next 50 years or so - Daddy & I will be there (wherever that may be) for Christmas. I hope you're reading this less as a threat and more as a promise : )
You boys are the best gifts we've ever been given and we love you to the moon and back!
