Merry, Merry!

The kids were so excited Christmas morning. Doug had to work a mid on Christmas Eve, which means he works from 11pm -7am. He was able to get off an hour early and head home at 6 to find the kids and I all piled up in our bed. Noah didn't realize right away that it was Christmas morning and I had to ask him if he remembered what day it was. He was like "Did Santa come?!?!" So we went to see! Grammy and Papa were waiting on us to get up and come see what was under the tree. Noah was so excited to find that Santa had brought him the Battle of Endor Star Wars battle pack, Darth Vader's ship and also Anakin Skywalker's ship. He said as he sat to check everything out "This is just what I asked for!!" Rachel found that Santa had brought her a new baby, a changing table and a dog with kennel and vet supplies. She was very excited to start playing and changing diapers. We had a great day and the kids played with their new toys all day. Thank you to those of you who sent gifts - the kids loved everything and send their love and thanks along with ours. Noah had a 'Star Wars' Christmas, you could say. Most of what he got pertained to Star Wars and he wouldn't have had it any other way. All day if you asked him what his favorite was he'd say what ever happened to be in his hands at the moment. He especially seems to love his new Millennium Falcon, X-Wing Fighter, his action figures and his Star Wars pop-up book. Rachel loves her changing table, high chair and crib that she can play with her baby dolls with. We spent the day watching the kids play, watching Star Wars (ofcourse) and eating... lots of eating. I hope you all had a great day with your family and friends. We missed everyone who wasn't with us - but know that you were all here in our hearts. We love you!
