2:46am Christmas Morning

The time Abby came into our room, ready to get up and open gifts! You have to understand, Abby NEVER comes into our room to wake us up. She will wait in her room until she hears us in the morning before either coming into our bedroom or going downstairs. We told her Christmas Eve that she could come into our room when she woke in the morning, so we could all go downstairs together to see what Santa brought. We had no idea it would be at 2:46am! That will be one of my most cherished memories....she looked SO sweet and SO excited, and SO SO sad that she had to go back to bed for another couple of hours. She slept fitfully the rest of the night (I know, b/c I was up from 3am until 5am with Hannah, cleaning up her throw-up...argh), and finally we all went downstairs around 6am. Griff, of course, didn't want to wake up, and I had to finally get him up at 7:30am, as it was getting a bit unfair to Abby and Hannah (who by now was feeling much better) to make them wait much longer!

Everyone had a wonderful time opening gifts - you could hear lots of laughter and giggles in our house all morning. Abby's favorite gift is probably her Razor Scooter or her Diamond Princess Barbie and Coach; Hannah LOVES her Baby Alive (actually, so does Abby!), and Griff is all over his fire truck, race track and new trike.

Mike's mom made them the most adorable little dolls (Abby and Hannah) and monkey (Griff) - pictures of them are below, along with all the other loot they got! There are a lot of pictures posted below, enjoy! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, too.
