Christmas Morning 2017

This year we got a taste of the magic of Christmas with kids.

I’m not even sure Lincoln understood what a present was but he understood that the wise men gave baby Jesus gifts and so we were also going to be getting gifts on Christmas morning. In the days leading up he would excitedly point to himself and say “Linc pres!” (Lincoln getting presents) whenever we explained the wise men and gifts and Christmas. Regardless, Christmas morning was magical.

A few things I want to remember:

  • The first gift Lincoln got from his stocking was a coloring pad I took out early in the morning to keep him occupied. The next gift he got when we all gathered round to exchange gifts at 8:30 am. I handed him a little wrapped book from his stocking and he excitedly turned the pages of helipcopters. We tried to hand him another present. “No!” he insisted as he kept trying to read his book. As soon as he realized more wrapped things meant more books or toys he kept asking for “more!” each time we handed him something 😛
  • His wide eyes as he saw the yellow truck Ben’s parents gave him. “BIIIIGGG Truck!”
  • How excited Lincoln was to “Match!” whether it was our family Christmas pajamas or his matching plaid tie with Adelaide’s bow for church later that morning.

Here are just a few more pictures from our morning opening presents:

Last year we got two additional matching ones for Lincoln and Adelaide (who was just a tiny fetus making me very sick last Christmas).
