There were two boxes waiting for Dever and me on the kitchen table when I walked. They were from Grandma and Grandpa Kemme. In my house we open our gifts from people outside of Fort Wayne on Christmas Eve. Papa got out the camera and Dever and I eagerly began to open up the packages together. Lo and behold, inside were 2 ipod touches with each of our names and phone numbers engraved on the back. (A stroke of genius to have our names on them, at least according to my mom!) While Papa synced them so we could use them asap we called Grandma and Grandpa and conveyed our sincere thanks!!! Now back to later on Christmas Eve........
After we had sufficiently tracked Santa to our hearts content we scurried upstairs and into bed to try to get some sleep for tomorrow! Unfortunately, after laying in my bed for a half an hour I was not the least bit dreary so I walked back downstairs to consult my dad on what I should do. The only solution he could offer was to lay in their bed, which I promptly did. I eventually fell asleep only to be wakened 5 hours later being told to go back to my own bed. At least this time I fell asleep easier!
On Christmas morning we woke up and raced down the stairs to see what Santa and my parents had brought us. They were many good present, but if I had to list everyones favorite present I would say, Papa: a poem I wrote for him, Mama: A CD with pictures from the photo shoot of Sarah, Sydney: All three Lord of the Rings movies in an extended collectors set version!!!!!, Dever: D&D Miniatures, Juju: a plastic baby doll that he can wash, and Sarah: a mobile that Dever made for her!! After most of the presents had been opened we ate coffee cake and, OH I forgot the best part, Rudolf took pity on us poor sugar deprived kids and brought us Captain Crunch and Coca Bits. Dever, of course ate like 5 bowls, but after my first bowl I started feeling a little sick and had to stop.
After breakfast we donned our Christmas outfits and went over to Grandma and Grandpa Nash's house for more Christmas celebrations. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
