On the morning of Christmas Eve, I woke up to a small Filipino boy staring in my face with a big smile on his face. He said, "Mom! Are you ready for an exciting day?!!" It pretty much made my day and I will never forget it.
Our family tradition goes like this - Christmas Eve church service, dinner (my parents often join us), a time of sharing and exchanging gifts. We usually stay up late and open stockings on Christmas morning, then enjoy a quiet day at home together. It was definitely different this year with all of our additions. There was a lot of commotion and some confusion at times, but I can honestly say that it felt...right. It was our first Christmas together as a complete family.
The light sabers made an stunning appearance, along with 2 hermit crabs, our first bionicle and Gator Golf! It just doesn't get any better than this!! :) Sorry about all the pictures! I just couldn't help myself!!

I noticed that my gift of Kitchen Scissors and an apron didn't make the list of fun gifts.... maybe you should add that one on there... :)
