LEGOS!
Rachel helping Phoebe take the bow off of her bone from Santa. 
The ever wanted Bendaroos!
Rachel helped Kate open her stocking and also many of her presents before she ever opened any of her own.
Finally! Something for her!
Mmmmmmm.... Santa did good!
Coal? For Doug? Never! ;)
Happy Baby
MORE Legos???
This was one very tired and happy mama with her babies! No more staying up till the wee hours of the morning to try to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus.... 
Our morning started with little feet pounding up the stairs to our bedroom and Rachel calling out "Mommy, Daddy! Santa came! Santa came!... and the coolest thing is a little doll house with a Bunny family for me and Kate-Kate!! It is the coolest!". She was so very excited as was Noah after peeking in to see if Santa had come or not. After getting Kate out of her crib and letting Phoebe out to 'go' we headed for the Christmas tree to see what Santa had brought. The kids were thrilled and Doug and I loved just watching their awe as they found the gifts from Santa and then opened the gifts under the tree. It was funny to watch Doug open his gift as it was layered in wrapped boxes and he sat and opened one present to find another tucked inside and so on until he finally got to his actual gift. It was cute to see his smile get bigger and bigger at each wrapped box. It was cute to watch Rachel open Kate's stocking for her and hand her each item... then help her unwrap her gifts - not in the crazed 'must unwrap' way, but in the helpful and sweet way because she knew Kate was so little. Noah would gasp at each item and say, "Just what I wanted!"... and I know you all wish you could hear Rachel sing into her microphone.... ha... ;) We may have to post some video of that to share with everyone. It was truely a magical morning here at our house.
