The Big Day!

Finally, the day we had all been waiting for arrived. Of course it arrived a bit earlier for some of us than others. Like Soren who was kind enough to remind me that Christmas was here at 4:45am!  Poor Boodle had to be awoken and dragged out of bed at 630.  Once the sleepy seeds were wiped away, and Bodie realized what day it was, the festivities began.

We started with the stockings and quickly moved to chaos…

Soren got his covetted snow board from Santa (now if we can just get some snow…)

Bodie got a pretty cool M&M set-up from Santa

Soren loved his Star Wars Legos that Bodie picked out for him. So much that Bodie even got a hug out of it.

The morning went on with a million presents, including a 3.5 foot gumball machine from Aunt Amanda and Uncle Danny along with an extra 850 gumballs (all I can say is when Aunty Amanda has kids, payback is a bitch)

Needless to say, when the end was near, the kids were on system overload. Bodie had gone a little crazy and adopted this fancy new way to open presents (it was actually quite funny because this lasted for about 20 minutes)

Overall, it was a great day. The kids made out like bandits. But I was most happy at the end of the day to hear that Soren’s favorite part of the day was the fact that he got to spend the day with his family
