christmas morning... brooke was the first to awaken, which means she was excited because gavin is always awake before brooke. we were able to keep brooke contained in our room for about 15 minutes until gavin finally started stirring. once gavin opened his door, the kids were taking off for downstairs. there is nothing like the feeling on christmas morning when you are a kid, or when you are a parent of young children. it is pure magic. santa brought skis, games, a lalaloopsy play set, a batcave, dollie and me clothes, hot wheels and lots of other goodies. brooke tore through all of her presents, while gavin took his time by playing with his gifts as he went along. by the time we were done opening presents, bob and kaye arrived for breakfast. we watched the disney parade on tv and told brooke that we were taking her to disneyworld for her 5th birthday!! we opened more presents. then we played and relaxed. the kids put on a puppet show with their new puppets and puppet theater. i spent 3 hours sewing a little bear for brooke by hand (thanks, santa :) kevin and i were in our pjs for the vast majority of the day. it's a good christmas when you don't have to get out of your pjs :), unless you're brooke and gavin who couldn't wait to put on their new clothes (a sundress that matched her american girl doll for brooke and a new batman shirt for gavin). it was definitely a very merry christmas!
