It happens every year....someone, or EVERYONE, wakes up at 3:30am ready to go. After telling everyone to go back to sleep, I lay tossing and turning, not able to fall back to sleep. That is how I know Abby was reading in her room from 4:30am to 5:55am and Griffin was loudly sighing in frustration at the injustice of having to wait until 6am to run downstairs. Hannah, thankfully, did go back to sleep. At precisely 6am, Abby was standing in our doorway, with Griff hot on her tail. They ran downstairs, opened their stockings and then decided they couldn't wait for Hannah to wake up, so they ran upstairs and woke her up so they could get on with the present opening.
They all must have been on the good list, as they made out like little bandits. No one could pick a favorite gift, they loved everything. We've had a fun morning of playing nicely with each other, sharing gifts. A Christmas miracle itself :-)
Thank you to everyone for all the lovelies you sent our way. We love it all and are so appreciative. Enjoy the pictures!
