Christmas Day...

Midnight - We finally crawl into bed after getting everything ready and cleaning up some of the fondue stuff.

3:00 AM - I hear Tru's bedroom door open and hear little footsteps run down the hallway to the living room. By the time I realize what's going on and get out to the living room he has already picked out a present and is sitting on the couch opening it. We didn't put any presents under the tree before tonight because I knew it would just be too much temptation for him... so now he has seen it all and it is way too early for me to even consider letting this happen. So I take Tru back to his room but let him take the one present he opened with him.... then I lock him in there in hopes that he will stay in till we are ready to wake up.

5:00 AM - Tru is pounding on his door, yelling that Santa has come and he needs to get out so that he can open his presents. We ignore him...

6:00 AM - Trent finally gives in and goes and lets Tru out of his room. I get up too because I don't want to miss Tru opening his presents... but have the worst headache of my life! So this is what Christmas with a three year old is like ;).

He loved every second of it!! He opened every present, even the ones for me and Trent. He had so much fun with everything. It was really fun.

Then when everything is opened and the room is covered in paper and presents Tru chooses to play with...

... a box. A cardboard box! Too funny! He did end up playing with all of his stuff later on, I just thought that was too funny. We went a little overboard with the presents this year I think, but it was worth it! It was so fun to see him so excited.

Then Tru and I made some breakfast.

Whole wheat pancakes with whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles...

I think that it's safe to say that his favorite gift was Hungry Hungry Hippos. He just loves it, and we've already played it about 50 times...

Christmas was good for Trent and I too! I'm so glad that we had such a nice holiday as a family this year. Christmas was a big low point for me last year so it was nice to have such a fun one this year.

Love you boys...
