After our long night, we all enjoyed sleeping in until 8:30 (Micah slept till 9). We had made a monkey bread type dish the night before, and the sticky, sweet goodness was waiting for us when we woke up. I was even able to make Owen his own special version which he called "candy bread." We then brought up the stockings (we wanted to keep the boys in the playroom to eat some breakfast and to read the Christmas story before heading down to see their new gifts.) Owen's was filled with his fair share of trucks and Micah's had a new watch. After lining up all the trucks and setting the watch, we headed down for Micah to find his new keyboard and for Owen to find a new discover rig jeep. They were having so much fun, they didn't even realize they had more gifts to open. That was one thing I really enjoyed about this Christmas. They would get so excited about each gift, and we would have to open it and play with it before they were ready to move on. They each got some new books to add to our library, Owen got some alphabet blocks and some alphabet magnets (he is very interested in learning his letters these days), and some slippers, while Micah opened a new analog clock for his room complete with hygrometer and thermometer, some dominoes, and a jelly belly gumball machine. The fun lasted till lunchtime, and naps followed soon after. The afternoon and evening included lots of playing with the new toys. Matt's family joined us later for pie and mulled wine. When Micah had to go to bed, he recapped the day and told us how much he loved Christmas. He even began cyring because he didn't want Christmas to be over. The best part was that we were able to tell him that it wasn't quite over because we were going to go to Nana's house the next day for another Christmas. He was relieved and finally settled down once I confirmed that Nana would indeed have a Christmas tree at her house!
