I really like to have Christmas with my kids first thing in the morning. A lot of Coy's family stays at grandma and grandpa's and all have their kids Christmas together. But, I want to have first thing in the morning with just us. So we get up really early. I love to spend the time opening presents with the kids and especially watching them go through their stockings.
This year we tortured Brent again. We hid his main Christmas present. He deserved it because he was up until midnight and tried to wake me up at 2. So we let him open all of his presents and then asked the Christmas story question "So, Brent did you get everything you wanted?" At that point he knew there was something hidden. We had his grandparents buy him a Fast Lane Roping Dummy while they were at the NFR. The Fast Lane is the coolest roping dummy according to him. He has been asking for one for months. It was a last minute decision to get one and they are not easy to find.
Racheal loved everything. She got an iPod home. Now she can plug her iPod in her room. And of course I spent way to much on clothes and jewelry for her. Next year, I think it will be her turn to be tormented. I am sure we need to hid her gifts!
After we have our little Christmas, we head to grandma and grandpa's for more gifts. After we open gifts, we get omelets. Grandpa makes them every year. They are huge 3 egg omelets with everything. They are so yummy. We all look forward to them. Then of course we spend all day there. We eat tons of treats and grandma makes a ham, salads and tons of food. So we sleep and eat all day. How perfect is that!
(It is perfect until you realize you have gained 8 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!)
