Christmas was full of blessings. Exhausting, of course! Funny how so much time and energy (and money) goes into the holiday and then its over in a blink of an eye. The Jersey kids enjoyed every minute up to it, which of course makes me feel young and alive. Cute tidbits of the day follow.
1. Tyler's heartbeat was a racin' on Christmas Eve. He was fast asleep, but so excited that his heartbeat was thumping away. Needless to say the excitement level was on nock 10 when he realized Santa came with presents for all.
2. Later that day, he began piling up some old toys that we could give to "those kids that didn't get anything." As, you can imagine, I bursted into tears.
3. Whoever invented zhu-zhu pets is a generous! The kids loved 'em. Santa loved the price tag and these lil' hamsters are scurrying all over our house! Not sure who is more entertained. The big kids, Jacob or the cat!
4. Santa was smart to bring the youngest member pampers or anything wrapped as the wrapping paper was Jacob's favorite thing to play with. And...two days later, Tyler & Cassie were making boats and cutting the boxes up for forts. The novelty of the "brand new toys' have started wearing off! HA!
5. While the kids have had their arguments over toys, they have played (surprisingly) good together.
We leave soon for our family vacation to Minnesota...and I'm not sure who is more excited. Needless to say a lil' getaway time is just what this family needs!
