Christmas survived once again...

 On Christmas Eve we let the boys open their gifts from Uncle David, a hold over tradition from when I was a kid.  I also let them open the bag of clothes from my parents so I could wash them, it was mostly pajamas so they were able to wear new pajamas to bed for Christmas.  We put the boys to bed fairly early with the hopes we could play Santa and get to bed at a decent hour...who were we kidding?
At 11:15 Kaleb was still awake!
At 11:30 he had just barely fallen asleep.
I normally go to bed at around 9pm, but I normally don't have to wait for Kaleb to fall asleep, so I was exhausted and ready to just put the gifts out and call it good, if he got up and caught us we could think of an excuse and put him back to bed.
So we finally put the gifts out at around 11:40 and got done around midnight...I was dreading an early wake up with the boys but I woke up at 8:00 and neither of the boys were up yet.  I got up, fed the fish, took my meds, drank some milk.  I took some pictures of the Christmas tree with all the presents just as Jerry got up then we went in to wake up the boys, Zac's reply was "What's the big idea waking me up?"

Kaleb just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep even after we told them Santa had come and there were presents to open.

Finally we had everyone in the living room, the boys opened their gifts and loved everything.  They didn't argue over one getting something the other didn't and have been sharing pretty well.
All in all, a good day.
