Maddie woke up first, not aware that anything was different. Upon reaching the end of the hall, she kept repeating, "Look at all the presents." She then proceeded to carry her stocking with her everywhere, not wanting to open any of it.
Max got up about a half hour later, and didn't seem to notice much of anything except that his sister was excited.
Sam had prepped the cinnamon rolls the night before, and stood by ready to frost.
Yummy.
Around 9am, after getting up at 7, Maddie decided to open her first stocking present.
Max way preferred the candy canes.
Although he did enjoy his new cars, and making their sounds as they drove.
Maddie enjoyed helping Dad put the garage together. (Max, after watching his sister, grabbed the screwdriver when it became available, and had his go at it as well).
The excitement of the day almost made it so that the fam did not get out for the traditional Thai lunch. Maddie said she was ready for nap (about an hour and a half early), but luckily she did a last minute rally.
Which even involved dancing to the constantly playing karaoke machine.
After nap, the fam headed over to the Leonhardts for Christmas dinner, where Scott and Elizabeth bonded under the tree.
And Lilly with all the kids, enjoyed the new slide that was standing in the kitchen.
Steve-o manned the ovens.
Which culminated in a delicious Christmas dinner with the LA family.
Complete with requisite kids' table.
