Christmas Day 2009

We got to celebrate Christmas as home this year. The boys had fun opening their presents from Santa and playing with their new toys. I didn't have to work on Christmas Eve this year, so I got to hear their excited little voices when they saw that Santa had come and left them presents under the tree, stockings by the fireplace and had eaten the cookies left for him. I heard Ewan saying "Santa Claus? Santa Claus?" as if he was calling out to see if Santa was still in the house. The boxing gloves from Aunt Bitsy and Uncle Eric were a big hit. Ewan really liked his power rangers costume (a great find on the clearance rack after Halloween!). All the boys liked the building blocks they got, everyone got a different type. Marcus was excited about his science experiment kits. He couldn't believe that Santa knew he wanted them! Cale liked his Batman toys-and thank goodness Ewan traded one of his with Cale so Cale could have two bad guys! Even Liam liked opening his presents, bought at last minute when we realized that the other boys might think that Santa didn't bring Liam anything. We opened gifts, we ate, we played. That pretty much sums up our day.
