Dawned early here at the Masters house. Very early in fact.
It was a nasty weather night in Murray Siding. The wind blew extremely hard all night and this makes the kids not sleep. We went to bed after loads of wrapping marathoning and getting things perfect. The kids were in our bed or sobbing in theirs within the hour. Wind scares them SIGH. At 5 am Annika was up and cranky and we ended up back in her bed for sleeping. Taylor came upstairs early because there were strange noises in her room; personally I think she set her alarm and was coming up because we said no one up before 7 am. She was here at 701. BUT we let Annika sleep until around 8 am after her rough night SIGH and then she was out of bed. She was cranky.

Holly`s hockey net; a proper one that isnt plastic so she has something real to aim at. Its a lot larger than I expected.
I said no Gifts until the tears dry up and I see a smile. It was a no go and Scott ended up taking her into the living room.
The kids waiting for the presents to be passed out. There are no freeforalls allowed here. lol Scott hands out each gift one by one and we have to be all ready with one before anyone can open. It is pretty fair that way and we have some control.
the present hander outter - he loves this Santa Role. And he has the control he wants; you should see him stacking gifts together and telling us `stop looking at that and open this gift! Hurry up!`
We let the kids open the Wii first. This was mostly to avoid the issues of having them open a Wii-related gift along the way and then having to backpeddle and find the Wii. I figured it could have stalled the entire gift opening process but that Scott was so insistent on continueing on and Holly was ALL for that.
Annika`s Ukelele. She liked it, especially that it was purple; but it was overall a litlte underwhelming. Could my kids be too used to getting what they want I wonder.

Patiently waiting for another gift :)

A view out the window; the foot of snow we had yesterday is pretty much completely gone now thanks to warm temps and a tonne of rain.
Annika videoing Holly in her comfy afghan. She got a cute little kids video recorder. Cant wait to see how it comes out :)
A much covetted Hannah Montana Wii game. Gotta say this one is kinda fun lol. I didnt mind it at all lol.
Christmas Brunch always consists of home made waffles with whipped cream and fruit - strawberries, bananas, and peaches. Dreamy waffles :):)
