Christmas Eve

my kids love to open up their pj's and wear them on Christmas eve. here is Hampsy with no pj's but very warm fur.
jacob had been asking about opening a gift since he saw them on the "Christmas" shelf 2 weeks ago. it was pure torture for him to see those gifts and not be able to open them... hum I wonder where he got that from. maybe his mother?

ya, i admit when i was growing up there were a "couple" times that some gifts under the christmas tree seemed to beckon and taunt me. come on, i know you want to open me... look at this pretty paper that i'm hiding underneath. i want to come and play with you, please open me. i would try to stiffle this sound, and yet i could hear it up in my bedroom. what is a kind hearted girl to do... ya i opened it!
madeline gave jacob what he wanted most for a gift, an mp3 player! he has loved this gift and could hardly wait to download a whole bunch of songs. but hey he was pretty quiet with those ear phones. ;)
