After a fun day at Grandma and Grandpa Knight's house, we headed home to get ready for Santa to come. The kids got to open a present of new pajamas each, and knowing that they got to go home and open a present they were practically pushing us out the door to go home instead of dragging their feet and begging to stay just a little longer at Grandma's house, like they usually do.
They were all happy with their fuzzy pants pjs.
Megan's favorite part was the wrapping paper.
And Ryan, but then Ryan is always her favorite. He can make her smile any time.
We had a little time before bedtime, so the girls (especially Annie) jumped at the chance to color the puzzles someone in our ward had dropped off earlier that day for us. Annie LOVES puzzles and coloring, so a puzzle that needed coloring was just about the best thing ever.
Megan, in the meantime, went to town on her wrapping paper.
Then it was off to bed to wait anxiously for Santa to show up. Rachel had a bit of a hard time falling asleep, but was asleep by 9:00 (bedtime is 7:30, though I think we let them go to bed closer to 8:00 that night). But when I went in to check on Rachel around 11:00 she stirred and wanted me to "do the dribbles" to help her fall back asleep (where I run my fingers lightly over her forehead and down her cheeks). Then she woke up at 2:something, came in to me around 3:15 and was asleep again before 4:00. Then sometime while I was up feeding Megan from 5:15-5:45 Rachel woke up for good for the day, and proceeded to wake up Annie as part of what they called, "Operation Ho Ho Ho." And thus began Christmas morning.
