Christmas morning came very early for us. Bradley walked into our room at 4 am ready to go downstairs and see what surprises had been left by Santa. His brothers were still asleep though so we told he would have to wait until 5 to wake up his brothers. He climbed in bed with us and you could feel the excitement just radiating off of him. About 4:20 William woke up so we let Bradley go wake up Kyle. Kyle told him that he needed a couple more hours of sleep and went back to sleep. Bradley slumped back into our room. At 4:45 it was apparent that William was not going to back to sleep so Bradley made a second attempt at waking Kyle, which was much more successful. From the moment they were up they excitement and smiles were abundant. We let Matt continue to sleep because there was no reason to wake a sleeping baby. Brad, Kyle, and William gathered in our room to where were able to spend a few minutes talking about the birth of Jesus before we headed downstairs. Santa had indeed come that night and left a presents galore for the children to have. Kyle couldn't stay in one spot and kept running around making sure his brothers hadn't missed something they had received, all the while not looking at many of his presents. He finally was able to contain himself enough to look at what he received. Brad, said it was the best Christmas ever, and William won't let the trains out of his sight, including sleeping with them. Matt, well Matt was so excited he slept in, and then I put a new outfit on him just to satisfy myself.

Funny how the hardest one to wake up seemed like the most excited when it came down to it all. :-) Hope you got some more sleep later in the day. I remember Joe, Tim, Teri and Staci were always up very early...wonder what the record was.
Holy Moly! Your kids raked it in. I better not show those pictures to my kids or they'll think Santa hates them. (Maybe if they were a little better behaved :)
What fun to still have little ones excited to get up early - my little 15 year old was the only one who couldn't sleep well. 9 am was our early rising time. hee hee
I think the record was around 4 a.m., LeeAnn might recall differently. Joe, Tim, Teri and Staci would watch Scooby Doo early in the morning then send Staci in to wake us up since she was the youngest. It worked.
Ah, Doesn't Santa wrap anything! Man your boys look like the got some great things, maybe i'll send mine over to your house! :)
Night vision goggles?! Mia needs to take behavior lessons from your boys so Santa can bring her the good stuff! WOWIE ZOWIE. That really does sound like the best Christmas ever. What fun!
