What a fun Christmas this was! Cole was so into the whole experience which made it so much more fun for Rhonald and I. We have had gifts under the tree for weeks and Cole has been so good not to touch them. I wanted Santa's gifts to stand out so we wrapped them in different paper and placed them by the fireplace. Cole was so cute when he walked in to the living room that morning. He slowly walked over to his presents and just stared at them. We had to tell him it was ok to open them. He loved everything! We learned a big lesson this year...Christmas is very overwhelming for a child and maybe less is more! Cole would have been happy with a stocking and 2 gifts. I was shocked when he asked me to unwrap his last two presents! He simply wanted to play with each thing as he opened it and there was so much going on. Cole loved passing out the gifts and telling us who they were from. He helped open Lily Kate's gift and would comment on everything she got ("Oh she likes that mom!"). It was a perfect day! We stayed in our pj's all day, ate when we felt like it and played with all of our new things. It was so relaxing and wonderful to be home just the 4 of us.

Cole and I have the same stocking! The PBK ones are so cute I had to get one for Mike and I. :) The girls have the ice skaters, I liked the tutu one but Cate choose the ice skater (which is cute too). :)
