Christmas Morning 2007!!

The kids went to bed really late on Christmas eve but decided to wake up very early on Christmas morning. They went downstairs and came running back up announcing Santa had come. We told them to wait in the family room (where the presents were not) for us to come down and then we would begin. We came down quickly and the boys proceeded to open their stockings. They so enjoyed opening every little thing. We do not go crazy on Christmas. They get a couple gifts-- typically one big gift and a few small ones-- and then a the gifts from Santa. We try to keep Christmas in perspective and to focus on the reason for the season as opposed to gifts. Anyway, the boys opened their stockings and a few gifts.





Mia also opened her gift including a Cabbage Patch Doll that I have been trying to give Mia for 2 years. I think she is almost old enough so we got it out of the closet, dusted it off and gave it this Christmas. She seemed to like it although she may be a tiny but young but give her a few months and I think she will be perfect.


The boys opened their helmets and realized something was going on so we quickly usurer them outside to see their big gift-- A gas powered scooter!! They were sooooo excited and surprised since they were not expecting it.


Mia enjoyed the scooter also.


At about 10am we went to Kevin's parents home and opened our Bock family gifts together. We had a wonderful breakfast and enjoyed opening our family gifts from our exchange. Mia was still feeling really sick and needed to be in the Ergo again so keep from falling apart. She did fine in the ergo and we were able to have a wonderful Bock family Christmas morning-- a tradition we have been doing for many years.
After our time at Grandma and Grandpa Bock's we went home and started cooking for the big Christmas dinner at my parents home. Those pictures will be coming very quickly as well as a few from our time going to THE ROCKETS at the Orange County Performing Arts Center last night. I will post those pics in a few. We are also heading out to Dumont Dunes tomorrow morning until Jan 1, 08. So I will make sure to post those pics before we take off tomorrow.

  2. Yay!! Successful presents:) I have that cabbage patch doll, too. It was one of the first things I bought when we were paper chasing. My youngest son wanted to play with it, so we took it out of the box & he drug it around for a few days. Now it is in a box:) Waiting for the day when our Mya comes home!!!
