Komarnicki Kids

Christmas was so fun this year! The first two were fun with Addison and Fischer, but this one was different because they actually understood what was going on. We were able to talk about everything for days (or weeks) before and they were so excited for the day to actually get here.

Most mornings, Fischer wakes up first and will come lay in bed with us. Usually about 20-30 minutes later, Addison is awake. So, on Christmas morning, we had to keep Fischer out of the living room so that he didn't see what Santa brought before Addison did! Luckily he didn't even try to go in there.

The kids looked at what Santa brought (sleeping bags and some books), then we ate breakfast.

Then it was time for stockings and presents.  And yes, Addison is wearing a pink skirt (of mine) that we have rigged to fit her. She actually slept in it too.

After opening a lot of presents, the kids got tired and just wanted to play with their new toys! So we took a break since we were staying home for the day.  I didn't want to rush it, or make it feel like we were forcing them to open presents!

After lunch and a nap, we started round 2. It took about an hour - I'm a big believer in everyone opening 1 present at a time, so it takes awhile. I like to see what everyone gets! That's the way we always did it growing up and I fully intend of keeping that tradition alive. :)

We had a great afternoon and evening playing with all the new stuff, which included movies, books, puzzles, coloring books, games, barbies, matchbox cars and much, much more.. I think we are just as excited as the kids to get new toys - we get tired of playing with the same things too. :)

I know next Christmas will be even more exciting, and we are already looking forward to it! Especially Addison, who keeps saying "Oh no! Christmas is over?!" :)
