As a parent, I don't think there's a greater thrill than watching your children on Christmas morning. Kennedy didn't disappoint with her sense of excitement and awe at all the presents that Santa left for our family. We spent the morning watching the kids open their presents, some to smiles and others, well....
Alex isn't quite there for Christmas yet, but he did enjoy ripping open the packages. He would peek in all the bags to see what was inside. After an hour or so we could tell that Christmas overload was upon us when Alex started shaking his head "No" as we offered him more presents. Can you imagine this happening in a couple of years? 
After spending the morning at home with the kids, we headed over to my sister's house for more presents, dinner, and our attempt at the nativity. It went okay, with Kennedy and Alex both playing shepherds. At the last minute I was recruited to play a fallen angel. Even if it's hard to get the kids involved, I'm still glad we tried to remember the Savior in the midst of all the presents. Once the nativity was over though it took about 10 seconds for everyone to disperse and the Wii was ready for more action.
