Christmas started off at about 6 am. The kids gathered at the top of the stairs ready to tear down the wrapping paper that prevented them from getting a sneak peak. The kids each opened a gift and played with it while Erin, Mario, and I made donuts for breakfast (Eric's pick). Then after cleaning up, we opened another gift each and played with that. We stretched out the gift opening until about 11:30. Then it was time for our yummy Christmas dinner: ham, twice baked potatoes, and yummy Erin rolls.
This was our first year without Santa. Instead, we gave the kids money to buy more expensive gifts for each other. It was a success and the kids want to repeat it next year. They were very excited to give each other their gifts.
