They were up at 4:30, but as ordered, didn't come out of their rooms until 6:30. I was touched that they all ran into our bedroom and gave me big Christmas hugs before stampeding downstairs. But then they tore into their gifts.
MJ and I gave them each a hoverboard. Unfortunately Little Man's appears to be defective, which was incredibly frustrating. But a new one is on its way, and the girls are certainly putting theirs to good use in the meantime. They even created an elaborate "hover track" out of chalk on the driveway and street.
CC tried to give Pepere a lesson, which ended promptly after he fell and banged up his elbow. Fortunately he wasn't badly hurt!
Later in the afternoon, Grandma and Grandpa came over, and our day was complete: the kids were so excited to show off all their new toys and games, and give and get Christmas hugs. We Facetimed with Grandma Jean to demonstrate all the kids' new toys, and ended the day with a delicious dinner Memere and I made. What a wonderful day!
