It's Christmas!

And then it was Christmas morning! Ty was so excited to see if Santa came. 

Here he is coming down the stairs.

 That smile made every hellish shopping trip worth it. 

 "I need a rest already." 

 "What did Ty get?"

Uncle Jas, Grandpa, Auntie Nat, Grandma, and Elisa

 The kids eating...

 ...and playing.

 Ty's jingle bell has gone everywhere with him for the last few weeks.

And he sang that song really well. "Jiggle bell, Jiggle bell, Jiggle all waaaay."

 Ty was really good at opening gifts. I mean exceptionally good. 

 Merry Christmas everyone!

 Our California Family

Thanks for spending the day with us.

 And gifts all the way from England. Thank you everyone!

We had a lot of fun. The kids were excited and that's really all that mattered. 

What I learned is that you really don't have to spend a lot of money. Ty's 2 favorite toys were less than $5 combined, and he still plays with those the most today. And Tessa, well, she liked the boxes and mostly all of Ty's toys anyway.
