I'm so excited about my stocking. Santa fills our stockings and then leaves them in our rooms. We can look at them first thing when we wake up. (Helps occupy us a bit so we don't bother Mom and Dad too early. ) After going through our stockings and showing everyone else what we received, we have to straighten up our rooms, make our beds and have family prayer. Then we get to head downstairs to see what else Santa left us.
I was so excited about the crawling caterpillar in my stocking. I couldn't believe he could move all by himself.
Lining up to head downstairs. Another tradition is that we have to line up youngest to oldest to head downstairs. I'm lucky because I'll always be first. Did you know that Mommy also did this when she was a child? (She was the 3rd of 6 children so she was always near the back.) Daddy headed down first to turn on the Christmas tree lights and to start some Christmas music. He also got the video camera ready to catch our expressions.
Playing with the train that Santa left me. Our Santa gifts are always left unwrapped in front of the Christmas tree.
Having fun opening one of my gifts. We take turns opening gifts. Sometimes I had a hard time waiting and would grab someone else's gift and start opening it. Don't worry...the gift in this picture is really mine.
