Kids Make Christmas

Okay, so maybe kids don't make Christmas, but aren't so many occasions just that much more fun because of kids? Obviously the complete reverse can be true too. :) But really, their excitement is contagious.
So, Ryan's family had a tradition growing up that one night during the Christmas season the boys slept under the tree. We are keeping the tradition alive. Tim and Mary were so excited. We let them open an early present (from the Wildes) that night. Mary's new Barbie pool is displayed behind her and Tim's new legos are next to him. We played together with the new toys, ate treats, sang and then the kids nestled themselves underneath the Christmas tree. I miss the tree. boohoo.
