CHRISTMAS!!!

We awoke this morning with Caeley running into our room, saying Santa had come. We got up and watched as Caeley's eyes were full of excitement and wonder. You can't beat that! She sat next to me and said she was "so excited I'm shaking!" and she really was! :) It was hard, but she had to wait until Elijah woke up. He finally helped her out about a half an hour later. Here are some highlights!

Caeley was allowed to open a present while she waited for her brother to wake up. It was the book "The Nutcracker!" Thanks Aunt Bookie and Uncle Brian!

Proof Santa is real. No one knows what it does or how to put it together!

I love this one, kind of captures the excitement of the morning!

Rip and Tear! Rip and Tear!

Brush your teeth Uncle Robbie!

The rest of the day was just relaxing, playing with gifts and eating. Then we had visitors that evening...

Caeley got dressed up in her Christmas dress again, she loves it.
