Christmas Morning

Yay! Christmas morning! 

Even with my lazy, not-wanting-to-get-out-of-bed, I still beat two teenagers to the presents.

Anthony brought his blanket and pillow down, so that he could rest between presents. :)

Cozy, being happy about one of her million toys.

It's so easy and fun to shop for little kids. Ah...those were the days.

(So glad we still have a few little kids left!)

Sofia, looking jaded, but she is actually ecstatic to finally have a replacement chikorita. (She lost one EIGHT YEARS AGO...and has been moaning about it ever since.)

Annika, thrilled to have lots and lots of musicals to watch. She and Jon have won the coveted "most excited about Christmas" award this year.

(Don't tell Annika this, but I actually bought this dvd set for Anthony. We had just had a giant fight about whether or not he had to watch The Sound of Music with his family. 

Yes, sometimes my shopping is a bit sarcastic. )

The boys, playing with their "Heliquad". (James had seen a "Quadcopter" on tv....so I guess we bought the off-brand?)

All of the boys got nerf swords this year....so watch out.

This year Anthony was supremely unhelpful when it came to gift ideas.

Either he didn't know what he wanted or only wanted things he knew I was unwilling to buy. 

(I hope he liked some of the things Tony and I thought up instead of weapons and video games.)

One of the things he asked for was a tophat. Yes. Silly. I bought him a tiny one.

...but it does look adorable on Matt.

"Merry Christmas, gents!"
