Isaac and Eli have had a wonderful first Christmas. Curt is on call today, so we opened presents last night after dinner. I didn't know if Isaac would make it. Sometime yesterday morning, he figured out that all the presents under the tree had names on them, and that some of them had HIS name! He kept showing me, Grandma, or anyone else who would listen all of the presents and who they were to and from. It seems shaking presents is an inherent trait.
I took some Melatonin last night and actually slept really well until about 7:30 when a little Ukrainian boy woke me up with "Mama Papa come on! CHRISTMAS!" Oh they were so excited to see the bikes that Santa had brought them. The rest of the day has been filled with playing and preparing/eating a wonderful Christmas dinner. And a nap for me. I feel like I am finally starting to wind down from the way-to-long adrenaline rush I've been on.
I sure hope the boys understand that all of these gifts and celebrations are not typical! "Wow, life in America is so much fun!" they must be thinking. The first doctor appointment is Thursday, so that should bring some reality back to their world.
Enjoy the photos.
Wow! What a great site to see all of you together with all those happy faces. Glad you are home and getting settled with those two precious boys. I pray the new year brings many blessings.
