We got most of our Christmas memories this year on videotape. Here are a couple of highlights. This is a nice 'before the mess' picture of most of what the kids got this year. As I said before, we overspent. I'd like to have a smaller Christmas next year. Hopefully I can get Doug to agree. Other than that, it was nice and we had a fun morning.
I got the 2 HAM radios I asked for from 'Santa', along with several other things. This year Paige got into the gift giving festivities and helped dad at Bath and Body Works to get the perfect smelling lotions and potions for mom. She is now beginning to use the lotions and potions after her baths. And so it begins ...
Doug got his weights - to 'PUMP him up' (Say it like on Hans and Franz from Saturday Night Live to get the full effect).
Paige got the Thumper she reminded us about every day until Christmas (Thank you Cynthia ... I mean Santa). Santa also thought it would be nice for Paige to have a Sleeping Beauty dress, tiara and shoes. Sleeping Beauty is her favorite princess. I think she's a beautiful princess even without the dress, but it sure is fun to have it, don't you think?
Preston was thrilled beyond belief as he opened present after present of Thomas trains and accessories. Here he is jumping for joy ... or is that just what he does? Yeah, he pretty much jumps on the couch any chance he gets. So whether it's joy over his gifts or joy in general, we're glad he's happy.

I AM COMMENTING!!!!! :) LOL
That looks like a fun Christmas morning. I love seeing the kids so happy and excited on Christmas morning. We scaled down our Christmas this year and I actually liked it much better than the years where we are overwhelmed with gifts. Everyone still had a great time opening their little allotments. Samantha's favorite princess is also Sleeping Beauty. Paige's dress looks really similar to the one Samantha has. It's beautiful!
