I have too much time on my hands:

I'm too excited to sleep

Andrew fell asleep a little later than usual tonight. Partly because he asked to watch both Frosty the Snowman shows and partly because he's very excited! It's hard to say who is more excited though - we can't wait for the morning!

After the boys were asleep we packed up all the presents for Christmas with the Dyk family (tomorrow, after we open gifts at home) and moved in all the gifts for the boys. Matt had the great idea to wrap all the presents for Andrew in one type of paper and Mason's in another. The only problem is it makes it obvious that the present ratio isn't exactly even... That's okay though, Mason will be slower and will be so excited about his basketball and new broom he probably won't make it through the rest...

I hope your home is filled with the excitement of Christmas and that you take a moment to remember the reason we celebrate. To quote my friend Joe: happy birthday, Jesus. (I'm pretty sure he meant it sincerely!) :) Good night!

Lori, that's a beautiful photo of your tree! I know how exactly how you feel. When teh girls were that age, I couldn't sleep either. In fact, for many years it was "I" that woke them up on Christmas. Now it's a different story.. they woke up at 2am, 4am, 6am...and never when back to bed. LOL
