Wowsers of a Christmas

Christmas was so fun this year with a toddler.  After Tacy went to bed on Christmas eve, I set up our little tree and Brad put together 2 of Tacy's big gifts.  I got our stockings hung, the tree all arranged and everything ready for the morning.  Tacy woke up at 7:30 in the morning.  She is pretty good at busting out of her room to get food as soon as her diaper is changed.  I tried to keep her in check since Brad wasn't up yet but she did get a peek of the tree/presents and said "Oh wow!"  Brad then got up and played with Tacy in her room while I got the lights on by the tree.  Then Brad opened the door and out came Tacy.

She was in heaven!  She said "Oh wow" so many times.  Opening all of her presents took 4 hours because she kept wanting to play with her toys instead of unwrapping something else.  But it was so fun.  Tacy even helped me open my new boots.  Tacy had so much fun playing with her ballapalooza and pushing her shopping cart all around.  She also got several toys that make noise and she danced a lot.  After presents were finally all opened, Tacy was pretty tired and took a long nap.

The rest of the day, Brad's whole family came over to skype with his sister Christine, who is on her mission in NJ.  We had a nice big dinner, opened presents with the whole family and played some games (after Tacy was in bed).  It was a fun Christmas and I'm so glad Tacy loved it, even if she was a little spoiled.

Brad's parents did presents differently this year for the kids (not the grandkids).  They decided to play bingo for presents.  All the presents were wrapped and numbered.  If you won bingo you drew an envelope and in the envelope it would have a number (correlating with a present), cash, or a random thing to do.  Interesting way to do it all and not Brad and my favorite.  We did get our own razor to cut Brad's hair.  But we also got a puzzle, jerky, and a tool kit (of tools we already have).  Oh and our $1.  Some couples were luckier then us.
