Christmas Morning 2011

It was, of course, Christmas morning that Lionel chose to sleep in. Not the weeks before when he was rising at 4:45am, but Christmas morning. Everett came running into our room and I quickly woke up and gave him a big "Merry Christmas!" and he said, "Mama, my pajamas are lighting up!" He was getting sparks from the static electricity in his jammies. I had to laugh. Here's the kid who has been counting down to Christmas since Halloween and his first thought on Christmas morning wasn't even Christmas! He begged me to wake up Lionel, but we waited. And at 6:30am, we ventured downstairs....

The first present opened was....a sword! What was Santa thinking??? Everett has a smile on his face as he opens a train from Papa and Grandma.
