Christmas Morning

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  Bryson very excited for Christmas to come, and had a hard time getting to sleep because of it.  He opened new pajamas on Christmas Eve and we brought his toddler bed into our room so that Santa could come without having Bryson too close.  He woke us up early (even though Jarom and I had a late night because somehow the directions for Bryson's new bed didn't come in the box and Santa had to figure it out) and we opened presents.  He could hardly contain his excitement, as you'll see in the video when he first comes out of the room to look at the tree and see the letter that Santa Claus left him.

Bryson got quite the loot (though not everything was new - Santa brought some containers for his old stuff and put them in there so he could open up the container of blocks and such).  Among his favorite gifts were the reusable hand warmers Daddy got him, some art activities and cars from Mom (I love clearance sales and coupons for things like these), and his brand new bed.  Bryson was WAY too big for his toddler bed and ended up sleeping hanging out of it, with his feet on the floor half the time, so it was time.  He loves the memory foam mattress and has not come into our bed since getting his new bed, which is a plus for us.  Bryson's other favorite toy that he plays with constantly are called Crystal Climbers, interlocking shape blocks.  They've already provided hours of entertainment.

Melissa got a drying rack, some new cutting boards, a curling iron, and a few other things.    Her new favorite thing in the world is the laminator she got for Christmas because she'll be able to use it for preschool activities, Church stuff, and more!  She's majorly excited.  Bryson made a reindeer gift bag at preschool for us and we opened it to find some fun ornaments that he made for our tree.  He also gave Daddy a tie.  Jarom got a Red Ryder BB Gun, but he's not allowed to shoot it anywhere near here (which is probably a good thing so he doesn't shoot his eye out).  Jarom got some snow gear too.  We had a breakfast of French toast and enjoyed spending the day together and having Jane, Randy, and Molly stop by for awhile for more presents.
