Yesterday was a wonderful, relaxing day for us. We managed to hold the little guys at bay until 8:30, and then we dug into the presents. Some of our favorite moments:
Nicole received a dolly stroller. She immediately threw a teddy bear into the stroller, buckled it up, and proceeded to run/slide back and forth down the halls. When we opened a sleeper for her, she ran/slid into the living room, grabbed the sleeper, threw it over the teddy bear, and peeled out into the hall again, running full speed toward her bedroom.
Scotty was "Santa" this year and handed out the presents. He knows how to read, so he spent lots of time searching for his own gifts under the tree! His favorite gift - Anakin and Count Dooku Star Wars figures and a Jedi fighter.
Matthew is the proud new owner of Heelies (aka bone breakers) and a skateboard. While he was acclimating to his new shoes, he repeatedly forgot that if he leaned back, the wheels kicked into gear. It was quite funny to watch him while was talking. One moment he stood beside us, and the next his voice came from somewhere on the floor. It was Matthew's ninth birthday, as well. Although he celebrated it last October, it is still hard to believe our baby Matthew is getting so old.
Sierra spent most of the day playing with her new epet German Shepherd. She enjoyed walking him, feeding him, and teaching him tricks. We enjoyed the fact that her pet is hairless, voiceless, and only requires batteries to keep him alive. She also added substantially to her Littlest Pet Shop collection.
Dallin ate his weight in candy today, and asked repeatedly to have his chocolatey hands washed. He happily bounced from one set of toys to the next. His standard expression was, "Oh, wow!" He enjoyed opening his presents as much as playing with them. His favorite game was Cooties, and he liked his new Spiderman action figures.
Matt and I simply enjoyed the season, and happily traded off taking naps throughout the afternoon.
We had a big ham dinner with my family. All in all, it was a great day.
