Tired and Happy

It probably goes without saying that it's been a very long day. I'm going to try to update quickly so Pete and I can have a quick game of Trivial Pursuit.
We had a couple of near-misses last night during our Santa-ing. Henry, unsurprisingly, was not sleeping soundly. He wandered into the hallway once around 11:30 and then came into our room an hour or so later to tell me he had to pee. He had already peeked into the living room and determined that Santa had been here, even though I tried to block his view.
He wasn't up crazy-early this morning, though, which was nice. We stayed in bed until about 6:50. Here he is trying to peek into his stocking, before Clara was up.
This one is the best shot of the day.
When the sleepyhead awoke we took stockings down. She tried to open her first stocking-gift with her teeth. That's why I love this photo. I don't love the hot-cocoa mustache Henry is sporting.
Here are the two cuties, sitting on their new floor pillows, checking out their stocking goodies.
Here you can see that it was still a little dark out. The cloudy weather didn't help, though we did have one brief spot of sun this morning. Pete's showing Henry that what he had in his stocking was a movie theater card.
Mmmmm.....delicious cinnamon rolls.
And then back to presents. Clara liked her little lego guys. They're almost like dollies.
Henry helped Clara "unwrap" her doll bed.
Here's the little Mama. This bed was my mom's when she was little, and mine as a child as well. Clara also got the high chair, which no longer has its tray.
Here's a little bit of the aftermath. This was before round two with Pete's parents and Liz and Van.
After naps Clara and Henry got a whole new set of presents to open from their grandparents and aunt and uncle. Here's Clara with a little baby doll that she can take in the bath.
She also got a new Northwestern t-shirt which she wore proudly over her dress all through dinner. She sat down first and promptly tried to get the raspberries off everyone's salad.
Here we are before digging in to our red red meat and other Christmas foods.
After all was said and done we got the kids into their jammies with the promise of one quick movie before bed. Franklin also got a little extra attention.
And finally, here are Pete and I, tired and happy, just a few moments ago.
I hope your Christmas was as full of love as ours.
