Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful and fabulous Christmas - just like my little family. We spent an enjoyable two days relaxing and enjoying each others company. I think we may have a new tradition of having my parents and sister spend the night at our house. It was wonderful to have them spend the day with us and I'll look forward to having them again next year.

I remember as a child being so excited for Christmas that I wouldn't be able to sleep. And every year my grandparents and my uncle would spend the night. Every morning my and my sister had to wait until everyone else in the house was ready and sitting there to see our expressions as we ran into the living room to see what Santa brought. Being unable to sleep ended a long time ago - but I sure couldn't sleep last night and it brought back the memories of having my big brother tell me and my sister to shut up and go to sleep.

Ster is at the best age for Christmas - he was so excited and all week long he has been asking to open just one present. He told me that he was going to stay up all night long so he could see Santa. I didn't know what to think! Whenever he tells me he is going to wake up at a certain time (say, when daddy leaves at 5 am), he will wake up at that time. Without an alarm. So I was a bit worried that he'd wake up way early or actually stay up late. And I didn't sleep very well. Ster did fall asleep - but woke up at 4:30 a.m. telling us that Santa left us a Wii and a camera. He stayed in our bed until 6 a.m. when Tim told him to go watch TV for a while so that we could sleep a bit longer. This is what we woke up to at 7:30 a.m.-



He didn't touch any of the gifts from Santa (which I think is amazing) and woke up to find all of us watching him and giggling cuz it was just so darn cute! We spent the day enjoying our new Wii and watching movies and eating tons of food. Here are some pictures of our fun day:
