Santa's elves finally hit the sack around 12:15pm. Dead. Tired. My body was achy. We barely doze off when we hear it. The pitter-patter of big feet.
Really? This is happening? Luke and I whisper back and forth for a second. I can tell the elf next to me is ready to get up because he just can't wait for the kids to see all of their gifts.
I should also state, for the record, that Luke took care of 95% of the shopping this year. He really took care of everything. It was amazing. I think I picked out a gift for my mom and maybe a few gift cards for family, but that's it.
Needless to say, my body refused to get out of bed at 12:30pm....so I dozed off to sleep. I woke up at 2:30am after Luke told the kids to come wake me up because I was "missing it." The boys stayed up but went into the den and played Disney Infinity for a few hours...then woke up their sister. Once they woke up Scout, Luke woke up.
I was not happy about getting two hours of sleep and since I wasn't feeling well, that was the icing on the cake. But I put on a smile, got the camera ready and we all opened gifts.
Wiggy modeled her new Anna dress and her Hello Kitty press-on nails.
The boys were VERY surprised. The dirt bikes aren't brand new and Luke spent a lot of time trying to find used bikes that would be affordable and in good condition. He ordered some graphics with their names and favorite number. I think they are awesome!
Luke bought this really good cinnamon bread from Costco so he made the kids French Toast with it... along with some scrambled eggs (and leftover goodies from Christmas Eve dinner.) After stuffing their bellies, the kids went about playing with all their gifts.
Grandma and Grandpa Hogue came down around 1:30 and Luke made us Christmas dinner. We had pasta, salad and garlic bread. Grandpa Hogue made some homemade vanilla ice cream for dessert. We had some cupcakes, peanut crunch cake and salted caramel cake. I didn't make one thing for Christmas dinner or dessert....or breakfast for that matter. It was fabulous. :) Luke really spoiled us all in that regard. This angel just sat back and enjoyed the day.
