Christmas Vacation: Day 5 - Christmas Day
Well, Christmas Day... it has now come... and gone. The kids have been actively anticipating today for at least a couple of weeks; perhaps a little bit longer. We woke up today and had some pancakes, and then let the kids open their stocking presents. We then bathed the kids and got them dressed and lined them up in front of their "Santa bags". It sounds like we did a lot before the kids could get their first crack at opening presents, but we started opening gifts at a respectable hour... at around 9am.

We didn't get the kids too many toys... they mainly received clothes and little dollar-store trinkets. They did each get one "big" gift. Berkeley got a race track; Eliana got a doll house; and Olivia got, well, she got only small items (she's still little!).

Here are a few pictures we took while the kids opened their presents:

Berkeley with his new rocket.

Eliana with her Christmas stocking.

Olivia with her Christmas stocking.

There are many more pictures here.

After we were done opening all of the loot, we packed up the kids and motored over to Bryan/Jess's house to hang out for an hour or so. Then we drove down to Brent/Shantell's for lunch and stopped by Mark/Jen's house for dinner. The kids had a great time playing with everyone else's new toys. When we finally made our way back to Mom/Dad's house, the kids got their first chance to play with their own new stuff. It was a long fun-filled day.
