Christmas Morning at the Thrailkill house!
I honestly don't know who loves Christmas morning more - Tommy and I, or the children!
Xander was up at 1 AM, 3 AM, and again before 6 - insisting that it must be Christmas! He was so excited that he honestly could not sleep.
Mikaela awoke about 6:45 and we all finally declared it "Merry Christmas" morning.
Santa had all but Xander's bike wrapped - and so Christmas unfolded slowly, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
The requested items had arrived just as Santa had promised to try to bring - Mikaela adore her new digital video camera and make up, while Xander was thrilled with his new bike and batcave ("Mommy - just what I wanted!").
Santa also enjoys bringing those few suprises - for Mikaela the cash register was a huge hit! She and her Aunt Ashleigh scanned and shopped for almost an hour. She also really enjoyed her text message machines - though we required our cool Aunt to teach us how to text and send the messages. Tommy and I are still behind the times!
Xander enjoyed the Star Wars action figures - with little Yoda being an instant favorite.
It wouldn't be a holiday (or just a Thursday for that matter) at the Thrailkill home without a little dress up action. Xander was instantly transformed into a Pirates of the Caribbean figure and Captain America, while Mikaela showed many forms of Hannah Montana!
Tommy and I loved the unwrapping, the excited exclamations and the pure magic of it all.
Makes you want to break out your Tiny Tim voice and yell "God Bless Us. Everyone."
