I was so excited for Christmas Morning. Sean came in around 7 and woke me up with my gift. He bought me a sweet new laptop. I had no idea. I didn't think we were doing gifts this year, but once again he spoiled me. I love it!!
The kids woke up around 7:45. Santa generally leaves his presents in our big family room, so when they looked over the railing coming downstairs and there was nothing, they were a bit concerned. I was laughing and told them he left everything in the quiet room this year.
When they saw everything they were a little bit confused until they started reading their letters and then it all clicked and they started squealing. It has always been my dream to surprise them with a trip and leave right then. I always thought that would be so exciting and it was. I had all the suitcases packed so we were literally ready to go.
We opened all the rest of the presents and then got ready for Church. They were so excited with each gift.
Such a lovely bunch aren't they.. I LOVE them!
We came home, ate our Christmas breakfast, cleaned up and were OFF for Southern California! The adventure begins...
