On the forth day of vacation

Merry Christmas Family and friends!
We've had a wonderful day. The kids were up late last night which gave us a nice late morning. My brother called at 9am and woke us up (!!!) to tell me that his son was up and ready to open presents at 4am(!!!!!?). My kids have never been awake at that time unless they were sick and were rushing for the bathroom.
Once August and Hazel woke up they both ran to the tree and announced that Santa had indeed come...August is sure he heard the sleigh and bells at some point last night. August also has a memory of Santa coming into his room when he was a baby...my boy BELIEVES in Santa.
My sister Kat and her husband Justin arrived around 9:30 and we started passing out the gifts. The kids were blown over with all the great gifts they were given. August got a bunch of books he's been wanting to read and Hazel got some toys and 2 Wii games. I worked with her to get her started on the first one: High School Musical 2 sing-a-long. Oh my goodness people. So Funny. Please, the next time you come over, you've got to play this game with my girl. I'll try to post her singing in the next couple weeks. She also got Catz 2. She's got her kitty all set up. Her cat is named Christmas. Very sweet. I think she was excited to be able to play on the Wii.
After gifts Trey made us all eggs and bacon and heated up some of the blue berry and cream cheese rolls that Chee Chee sends us. We also whipped up some mimosas to wash it all down. The we started playing video games. Kat and Justin were going crazy on one of the games August got. They were swimming and doing all kids of crazy actions in my living room. Good times.
Later in the day we met up with the Nyssen Family to go downtown and see The Water Horse. Hazel was a bit emotional at parts but it was a great Christmas movie.
Merry Christmas. We love and miss you all.
