I love that Harper is at an age now where some of this stuff is starting to make sense. He loved that he got to spend time in Adam's room while Andy and I made sure everything was in order downstairs - of course Santa did most of the work - but there was coffee to be made, a dishwasher to empty, etc. Hearing the boys giggle and laugh upstairs reminded me of when I was growing up and we'd spend our Christmas at Wintergreen and Mark, Kathleen and I would have to hang out in our room together while we wait to get the green light to come down. Just love all the memories that the holidays bring out.
The boys were busting at the seems though to come out and see what Santa had brought - even though I think he's still a bit confused, Harper was completely mesmerized by seeing all the colorful packaging in the family room down below. Adam was in awe as well - I love that even on his 9th Christmas the magic in his eyes still shines!
Santa sure did spoil everyone with gifts galore. Toys, a balance bike, books upon books upon books, puzzles, clothes and of course toothbrushes, floss, and bandaids - because, well, stocking stuffers.
A highlight of the morning for Adam was receiving an Xbox from us - we can't let Santa get all the glory - he was out of his mind excited as we had laid it on pretty thick that he would NOT be getting one...oh the lies we tell during the holidays. :)
It was a fun, wrapping paper, ribbons and bows filled morning - served up with a side of Sweedish pancakes.
Ho ho ho....
