Christmas Day

Santa left lots of surprises for the kids...



 And a little note for the kids...
 I wish I could say that they were super excited, but the truth is, we woke them both up... Maybe next year...

 When they finally were up, they got really excited!
 It took Grace quite a while to wake up. :)
 Jack begged for this blaster... How did Santa know?
The stockings were stuffed! Jack's favorite thing, perhaps of all his gifts, was his batman "shaver." It's so cute, everyday he tells me that he's going to go shave now.
 Most, actually all of what Jack got was Star Wars. He is SO obsessed right now.
 Grace is much slower in her gift opening. She likes to savor the process.

 But Jack speeds through it.


 This is the gift that Jack picked out for Grace, he was so excited to see her open it.
 This is her dress up trunk... It came with three outfits, jewelry, shoes and all, but I think the best part is that we now have a place to store all of the dress up clothes!



 Grace got her very own Star Wars figures, Padame and she is kind enough to share them with Jack.
 She got a whole set of doll things: a swing, crib, high chair and stroller. She had been asking for them and I think it will be really good for her when the baby gets here. She'll be able to parallel play with me and our new baby.

 Time to enjoy all the gifts!
He's setting up all of his new guys!

After all of the excitement and some yummy pancakes, we had a talk with the kids about Great Grandma and got ready for church.  We thought it was a good time since they would have a while before, during and after church to ask more questions. It also prepared them for the evening that we spent with the Lindstedts... all together, but missing Great Grandma.
