If you know me you know Christmas and I do not really get along all that well.
All the work, the excitement, the anxiety puts a lot of stress on a mother especially if Christmas morning does not go as well as you planned.
One year when Kailyn was 3 the Christmas tree and all Christmas decorations were down by Christmas day night. Lets just say Christmas morning did not go so well!!
This year I think I had the BEST Christmas morning EVER and this is one of the reasons WHY
It was a blast to see the kids so excited about their gifts that Santa brought.
Kailyn did us a huge favor this year and bought all her Christmas gifts online. Although there are a tons to returns it took the stress and work off of me to "FIND" what she was asking for. It was wonderful because as you read earlier even as a 3 year old Kailyn has always been extremely hard to buy for.
We did not go over board on what we call "filler" gifts we just bought a few things that they REALLY wanted and a few things that they really NEEDED.
Everyone was happy which in turn made me happy! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.

So happy that you and your family had a nice Christmas!
I spend Christmas morning with my brother and his family (kids are 10, 9, 6) and that scene is EXACTLY why!
This year, my niece cried because she got the cell phone she thought she would have to wait three more years for and I caught a picture of my nephew with his mouth wide open in shock about his gift! I just love their joy!
