Christmas Morning!

Madison woke up at 4:30 am this morning asking to go downstairs to see what Santa brought. Much to her dismay, we declined her request and she subsequently burst into tears. Thankfully she went back to sleep and both her and Nathan slept in until 8am, which is a Christmas present alone to Scott and I!!

She was SO excited to come downstairs to see her goodies. Nathan was somewhat oblivious as to what was going on, but quick to follow his sisters' lead. In fact, the whole thing happened so quickly and I was frantically trying to take pictures of the chaos, that I have a hard time remembering it even happening! How sad is that!? I need to hire a photographer next year.

The kids got everything on their list (except Madison's unexpected newest addition to her Christmas list, which was a request for a castle with three bedrooms and monkey bars...huh? ). Believe me, she looked for the castle but was unable to find it under that tree. However, her and Nathan were thoroughly involved in all their new toys and before we knew it, it was 2pm and we were still in our jammies!

It's FINALLY Christmas!!!
The skates that were at the top of her list!
Nathan and his new train table. He loved it!


All the cousins together.

Our family, Christmas 2008.

On another note, I tucked my 4-year-old into bed tonight for the last time. Tomorrow when she wakes, she will be FIVE!!!

Cute pics. It looks like both of our kids enjoy the same type of toys.

I can't believe your little girl is almost five already. It goes by too quickly. Hope you had a Merry Christmas.
