Our Final Christmas Celebration

By the time we woke up on Christmas morning, my sister and her family were long gone (Mac was nice enough to see them off at 4:30, I felt I had said adequate goodbyes the night before!). So Christmas day we were all by ourselves.

We spent the entire day lounging in Pajamas (or in Megan's case, a swimsuit cover-up that she prefers to pajamas even this cold!).

We opened the presents in waves, starting with the stockings, of course. Santa had a much easier time filling these huge stockings made by Mac's mom than I had anticipated!

Then a few gifts, some play time, a few more gifts, some breakfast, more gifts, until all of the sudden it was noontime and I was still thinking it was mid-morning!

Santa did bring those markers Megan wanted (a set of 20, not just 10 this time - the lucky girl!), but the big gifts were a kid's computer from Mac's parents and a new bike from my parents, which we've been test riding in the ping-pong room for now.

Both of Megan's big gifts were huge hits, especially with Liam! I had told everyone Liam wanted boy things to fill our void, but really he wanted his own kid's computer! So Liam got an extra present the next day, which was really a present for the parents to keep the kids from fighting anymore over Megan's! Merry Christmas (and Happy early birthday, Liam)!
