Tyler and I had a hard time sleeping Christmas night and were officially awake by 4 AM waiting for the kids to get up and see what Santa left them.
I made the mistake of telling Rilyn all week that Santa was coming to visit, and she took that literally. So we spent most of Christmas Eve trying to explain that Santa would not actually be at her house when she woke up he would just drop off a present.
As Tyler and I watched repeat episodes of the Office, Rilyn slept the morning away. At one point, she came out of her room at about 5:45....looked around...and then went back to bed until about 6:30. Of course, she has never slept passed like 6:05!
When she did finally come out we couldn't help waking Ryder so we could get our Christmas morning started. Rilyn loved opening gifts and has been enjoying playing with everything for the past couple of days. Ryder couldn't really care less about opening gifts. I was surprised he wasn't interested yet, but that is just sitting still for too long the little mover.
After naps, we went to Stacey and Jason's for more gift-opening, dinner, and family time. Ryder loved trying to learn how to take a step down without falling on their entry way stoop and Rilyn loved playing with her aunts and uncles. We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus at Rilyn's request.
