    Despite our kids knowing that they couldn't open stocking gifts until 5:30 and regular presents until 6:00, they were up at 4. They were greeted by hamsters and a wheelchair (the little kids wanted one ever since they played on one during a layover in an airport. Weird).

    No way am I getting up before 6. Just yelled at them to stop spraying silly string in the house. I need a few minutes to get the humbug out, and I'll be excited for gifts. I saw a FedEx shipment from Apple the other day:rockon2::rockon2:

      I had a good night's sleep and the kids will be up in 5 minutes. Merry Christmas to all of you, thanks for making my life more interesting and entertaining. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones.

        We let the kids have stockings. Presents are waiting until after church this morning. It actually is going over pretty well.

        Merry Christmas to all

          Merry Christmas all. Presents are open and it was a big hit (especially the beer shampoo I got).

          In church now listening to a heartfelt musical number. More songs are up for singing in between narrated bits. All is good so far. The SP has some closing remarks, and I pray he keeps them brief. More meaningful songs, less vapid talking.

            7:45 and kids are still asleep. No idea why but I'm not complaining. Church at 9 so it looks like presents will come after. Merry Christmas, all.

              First Christmas meltdown happened exactly 30 minutes after the last present was opened. It's tough having multiple girls all of different ages.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                My kids are ridiculously easy to buy for. They asked Santa for some modeling clay (the 10 year old girl), a football (5 year old boy) and some plastic play zoo animals (3 year old girl). Too easy. Santa spent next to nothing this year, and everybody was overjoyed.

                    Not a lot of time to sleep between 3:30 and 7:30.

                    It's 8:50. We are about to head over to the Church.

                    Even if it was early, seeing the 2 year old see his train table for the first time made it all worth it.

                    I have a scene on video of waking him up to go downstairs that is priceless.

                    My 6 year old is just so happy. Not even playing with toys. I caught him for a few minutes in his room singing about Christmas...making up songs...while he got dressed for church.

                    Off to church! Merry Christmas!

                      This is pathetic. No grandkids with us this year, and our unmarried kids (three of them are still in the sack at 8 a.m. I've been up for a couple of hours waiting for these bums to get going. Christmas is not what it once was.

                      Still, Merry Christmas to all.

                        Just woke up at 9:15 am. One of the benefits of having older kids.

                            Christmas Eve was one of my favorites I've had. I made dinner for Baby Brother and Papa Viking, we watched A Christmas Story, opened PJs, played poker, and listened to gorgeous Christmas music. Then I went to a midnight mass with a friend. I've never been to one before and it was really very beautiful. I've been working my tail off all week and overslept past my 6:30 a.m. alarm, so we sadly missed watching Viking's progeny open their presents, but it's okay. It happens.

                            Christmas is definitely fun with the kiddos around, but I've had a really great time helping make Christmas magic for other people. I'm in a bachelor house, so it's been a process... but it's worth it to see all of the wonderful things that come of the hard work.

                            We'll go to church at 11 (Baby Brother is still asleep) and then open some presents. Dinner is with Clueless' family, which I'm excited for. And I confess, a new romance at Christmastime is pretty magical, so maybe that's why I'm so happy this Christmas.

                            Merry Christmas!

                              Merry Christmas CUF. I'm trying to recover from a 16 kid Christmas present frenzy. The trash bags of wrapping paper alone are mind bottling.
