Christmas Morning

Warning, there are a lot of pictures... but this is the best way for me to remember the Magic of this special day :)
Cristian was the first one awake at 6:30am. He came into our room and told us that when he walked down the hall, he could tell Santa had been to our house :) Then he woke up Ava and Carter and the three of them waited in the hall together for the "green light" to come out into the living room. (I always like to have the camera ready first!) Cristian was so excited that he got the 2 specific webkinz that were on his list :) A great white shark and a cardinal.
Ava's face lit up when she saw her pink and purple doll house :)

Carter new instantly that this was his toy, he climbed right into his gum ball machine ball pit and stayed in there the entire morning! It was so exciting to see a 15 month old be so THRILLED with his present :)

Cristian's response to getting his Wii: "I finally have a Wii like every body else" :) He wanted to call Aunt Lisa and tell her right then (at 6:30am) but I had him wait a bit. (he always asks my Aunt Lisa when he can come over to their house and play their Wii... which is why he was so excited to tell her he got one)
Cristian got these games in his stocking, Toy Story Mania and Lego Indiana Jones
Ava got a new Barbie toothbrush in her stocking (she remembered that Santa always gives them new toothbrushes in their stockings) :)
A Fancy Nancy card game
Carter stayed in the ball pit to open his presents :)
Daddy helping Carter open presents. (like I said, he was much more interested in playing that he didn't even care about unwrapping presents. I thought he might get into tearing the paper... but not yet.)
Opening more presents
His new Crayons
We had everyone take turns and open one present at a time while everyone watched. Cristian went first...
Then Ava :)
Cristian got a remote control helicopter from Ava and Carter. (another item that was on his list)
Ava got a princess bead kit from her brothers
Cristian and more webkinz from Mom and Dad
Ava and more webkinz from Mommy and Daddy

Kyle showing off some of the things in his stocking
He just LOVED this toy!!
Cristian and Ava excited to see Dad open up the present they got him, a Christmas tie. (seems random, but Kyle really wanted one, LOL) This one even plays music!!
New Sonicare for Kyle
New scarf from Kyle
Carter discovered that if you sit on the edge you can bounce up and down like you're on a trampoline :) Gotta watch him though, because once he launched himself off backward. So, we taught him to put one leg on each side of the toy instead of having both feet inside the toy.

Cristian got Mario Cart from us... which may have "blown" the whole Santa thing. Later he asked if the Wii was from us because we had gotten him a Wii game (and so did Nannie and Auntie). But he came to the conclusion that Santa must have told me he was getting a Wii for Christmas. This kid is SO SHARP... nothing gets by him. He has totally figured out that Kyle and I are Santa already. But, the little kid in him still wants to believe :)
Carter "bouncing" on the toy (right before he launched himself backward. Luckily daddy was right there to catch him)

We had a wonderful Christmas morning together!!
