Christmas at our house

We celebrated Christmas this morning since we will be gone on actual Christmas day. We started off by waking Amelia up to her snowflakes. Then we brought her out to open presents. She had a good time opening everyone's presents. In this collage you can see her helping all of us. If you could hear the sound of her showing Phil his gift it would be, "woooeeeeee". Unfortunately we were not videotaping this one burst of excitement. All other videos had little to none of the emotional outbursts we were expecting and hoping for. She is very meticulous about unwrapping gifts (and always has been). She rips little bits at a time, slowly and softly, as you can see in the top right pic. She made sure Ben didn't eat the wrapping paper because, "that's gross, buddy". She had a good time and we managed to do all this, eat, shower, dress and be at church by 9. I say that's a good morning. Merry Christmas to all. (Now I must help Phil take down the tree so we don't have to do it when we get home!!! I feel a little bah humbug taking the tree down BEFORE Christmas)
