One of the traditions we love is wrapping our kids into their rooms.
At 8:00 on the dot (because the parents don't allow kids in earlier), the kids come running into the room and pile into the bed so we can read the Christmas story together.
Once we made our way downstairs, the kids were all very excited for stuffed animals, candy, and other things. They give books to one another and are always excited for their sibling to open their gifts.
The gift Dani and I were most excited for the kids to open came floating out of the biggest box. It took the kids a while to realize that it was going to be a trip to Orlando to go to Disney World and Universal (to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter).
Sometimes, after all the gifts are opened, we ask ourselves if we should just get our kids boxes to play with!
This year, Jared decided to become a bells player and was playing Harry Potter, Star Wars, and other Christmas songs by lining up the bells and hitting the buttons on the top.
Torin was given another stuffed animal to add to his growing collection. He loved his monkey from the moment he saw him.
When he goes to bed for naps and at night, he has to have every one of his stuffed animals piled on top of him and in his arms, then covered with his blanket. It's getting to be quite a large pile under that blanket!
One cool new toy this year is the Osmo. Kate loves the interactive drawing game. There are other games that the kids are discovering as well that are interactive and educational (mostly!)
