We had an amazing Christmas! After decorating an adorable plate for Santa on Christmas Eve...Talia headed to bed, so excited.
Christmas morning, Talia ran into our room about 7:45 yelling, "Santa's been here....Santa's been here!!" A few minutes later, Toby's little voice rang out and we all headed downstairs to see what Santa had left! What a joy to see how excited both kids were...Toby actually had an amazed look on his face seeing all the toys around the room!
They had a great time opening their presents from Santa and Mommy & Daddy. One of my favorite parts was seeing what Talia had picked out for Toby, Grady and myself. She had taken a trip to the dollar store with her Grandma Star a few weeks ago to pick out gifts for everyone. Daddy got a frame with a cross in it, which she called a "t", Toby got a toy car and football and I got a fairy Pez dispenser. It was great!
Grady went and picked up my Dad (Nonu) & Step-Mom (Grandma Star) who flew in from Seattle and after the kids woke up from their naps we had our 2nd Christmas of the day. Then, my Mom, Step-Dad and sister came over for Christmas dinner and our 3rd celebration and gift exchange of the day.
Here's a few highlights of the day...
Toby with his Elmo Live...not sure what he thinks about it.

My favorite gift I gave Grady...It says "We interrupt this marriage to bring you the football season"

Perfect end to a perfect day.
