Both Kamdyn and Karcie slept in on Christmas morning. Per tradition, Richard slept in Kamdyn's bed on Christmas Eve night. I guess once Karcie is old enough to notice, I will be sleeping with her. These girls were as excited as could be. I had to rush down the stairs with the video camera and regular camera on at the same time to try to capture their expressions! They were both so excited and didn't know what to look at or play with first. Christmas morning with children is truly the most magical time of the year. I loved watching their excitement as they discovered each new toy and treat. They loved their letters from Santa! Karcie couldn't wait to open up and play with all of her new toys.
They loved their gifts from Aunt Holly, Uncle Matthew, Vera, and Lucy. Kamdyn got a new movie and book, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. She also got a friendship bracelet maker where she makes bracelets out of thread. She LOVED it and it is a change from the Rainbow Loom. In fact, it took me back to my childhood. We made the same bracelets with just our hands and a clipboard. Now they have a fancy contraption to help with holding and making! Karcie got a brand new Cinderella princess dress, Cinderella dress-up slippers, and a Cinderella Barbie. She was thrilled!!
Richard was happy to finally have his whiskey glasses. Weird, I know. But that's what he asked for.
As the fun continued and the girls played with their toys, Richard made chocolate chip pancakes per Kamdyn's request. They were delicious! We stayed in our PJ's until at least noon. It was great! I finally was able to get both girls to sit down with me and take a few Christmas photos with Mommy. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and I love spending it with my sweet little family.
