The day started at 5:45am. The boys flew into our room announcing it was Christmas morning. We managed to shoo them away...for 15 minutes, until 6am (the time we said they were allowed to wake us up).
As per house rule, the kids are NOT allowed downstairs until Mom and/or Dad go downstairs to set up the video camera, turn on some Bing Crosby, get the still camera ready etc.
Santa brought the things the boys wished for the most. Calen's coveted gift of 2017 was a very small Nerf side arm pistol (for some reason, his biggest wishes are always the smallest, simplest things). Camden's coveted gift was a Hot Wheels Millenium Falcon track, complete with Chewbacca and Storm Trooper cars, because obviously. Other highlights included Yu-Gi-Oh cards from Santa in their stockings (which was absolute magic because Mom and Dad have said absolutely NOT to Yu-Gi-Oh cards since they already have 2938320 Pokemon cards), Star Wars Force Link for Cam (which is a wrist band that links to certain Star Wars guys and makes them talk and have sound effects), Legos (of course) and a large Nerf gun that Calen has been saving his allowance up for over a year for that we decided to surprise him with.
Then, a day full of Lego building and Star Wars battles, a quiet dinner with Coast Guard friends, and to all a goodnight.
Pictures are worth a thousand words. Merry Christmas!
