Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was so much fun. I, of course, didn't sleep at all the night before.  I always have issues sleeping on Christmas Eve but add in being 9 months pregnant and being uncomfortable, having to go to the bathroom every hour, and having braxton hicks contractions all through the night made it impossible!  At 7:00 I couldn't take it anymore and I went to wake up my kids.

They were SO excited with what Santa brought them! 

After playing with our Santa presents for awhile we took a break for breakfast.  I made the Schmuhl/Bottema/Foree traditional Christmas morning breakfast, Sugar Cake!  It turned out so good, it made two entire cookie sheets worth and we ate it all that day!  When the kids couldn't wait any longer we went to open the rest of the presents.

Max got plush Mario dolls from Kate, a Cars road mat, Monsters Inc figurines, a Buzz Lightyear, a Spiderman doll and hat, and a Mickey Mouse truck that you put together yourself.

Kate got Frozen dolls, a walking Pinkie Pie, an apron, some Minnie Mouse pots, an Ariel dress and a princess art set.

Each kid, including Jack, got an outfit from Grandma Watson.  Grandma and Grandpa Watson got the kids a trampoline, and Grandma and Grandpa Foree got them an art easel!  They are both over the moon with these gifts, they have not stopped playing with them!

Christmas this year was so much fun.  We of course missed being with family, but it was also fun to have our own little Christmas this year. The kids got all that they could want and more, and we had an awesome day.  So sad that it's over already!  Now the countdown begins for Baby Jack to get here!
