Christmas 2009

We woke up and opened presents at 5:45 AM. And no, we did not wake up at that time because Elle was excited about Christmas. We woke up at that insane hour, because Elle and Hudson wake up at that time or earlier EVERYDAY. If Johnny and I are lucky, they sometimes sleep in until 6:00 AM. But it is not unheard of for us to get up at 4:45 AM. And let me tell you, that’s a really fun hour to get up in the morning. But even though we were up extremely early, we couldn’t have had a better Christmas. We were together laughing, sharing, and surprising each other.

Hudson seemed to really enjoy his first Christmas. He liked talking to all the wrapping paper and the pretty Christmas bags. Good thing we didn’t really get him anything besides a Moto Moto doll and some clothes. He was much more pleased with the presentation of the present, than the actual present itself. Elle, on the other hand, tore through the presentation and went straight for the loot. She needed more than something shiny to keep her occupied. But either way, presentation or present, both Elle and Hudson had a wonderful and magical Christmas.
