Christmas Morning!

It was so much fun this year to get the kids excited for Christmas morning! Lincoln was really excited for Santa to come... he woke us up at 7:00! ( a lot later than I'm used to getting up Christmas morning!)
Here they are getting all lined up youngest to oldest... notice their cute new jammies from mom and dad!
Lincoln saw the presents and I've never seen him go so fast down the stairs!
The first thing he saw was his new trainset! It's so much fun... You push a button the microphone and say "GO!" and it goes where you tell it to! We all enjoyed that new toy today. He was so psyched about all the candy in his stocking... he immediately dumped it all out on the floor...
Gracie saw her new dollhouse and the baby inside and immediately started to say, "Baby!" It's her new favorite thing in the world...
They each got a pair of flip flops for next summer in their stockings and Gracie just had to put hers on right away... she loves her shoes!
Lincoln got some airplanes from Santa and he was in heaven! They also got hats in their stockings and Gracie liked wearing hers all morning too. She wasn't super interested in actually opening the presents but we did get her to open a few of them... she has really enjoyed this little piano that Santa brought for her. Lincoln ended up opening most of the presents for the kids but he didn't mind one bit!
Gracie got another pair of shoes and so she switched and wore those for a little while... (they're pink of course...)
We knew that Santa did a good job when Lincoln said, "Santa brought me lots of toys! He made me so so happy!" He sure likes this Christmas thing and is already excited for next year! It's so much fun to have kids on Christmas!

I want to have kids on Christmas SO SO BAD!! I love that Gracie didn't care about actually opening the gifts--Rachel was the same way.

Does Santa wrap every person's gift in the same paper (so you can tell who it is for by the wrapping?) I think that's a cute idea!
