Christmas morning came quick and fast and then halted! Delilah woke up at 6:30 saying that she needed to go out and get a drink of water (never asks for that). I told her no and that she could lay in bed with us till around 8. We were trying to let Neitra and Terris sleep a little longer. Mikayla finally came into bed around 7:15 and we just watched cartoons. Finally, we let them all out when Caitlin woke up and I saw that Neitra was awake. The girls ran out and went straight to the dollhouse and the pet shop toy. Mikayla was awe struck by Santa's footprints and Caitlin started playing with the dollhouse and her little people farm. After 30 minutes of them just playing with those two things, we finally bribed them into opening gifts. We said "At least open Neitra's gifts since she is right here." So Mikayla did and opened up a Barbie - realizing that 'hey... there is more toys to open' and that she did till all the packages were opened. They were truly blessed by all our wonderful family and friends! Honestly, I don't think there was one toy under the Christmas tree that they absolutely didn't love - HOWEVER - a blog entry will be following shortly regarding one that Mikayla wasn't too happy about. Be sure to keep your eye open for it - and I so wished I had the video camera to capture her reaction!!!

Even Popcorn got a present - and she LOVES it! She hates the hardwood floor during the winter and we didn't have a bed for her so she would constantly go back to the girls room to sleep during the day (as that is where she sleeps at night). Now, she is very content relaxing in the front of the house again.
After a wonderful dinner made by Daddy, we sung Happy Birthday to Jesus and dug into the cake!
