The enthusiasm of this crowd on Christmas Eve is through the roof! if we could harness their energy we could power our Christmas tree for a full year!
Pops and I locked ourselves in the basement (explaining that not all gifts come from Santa) and watched, "White Christmas" and, "It's a Wonderful Life" while we wrapped the gifts and the children anxiously pattered on the floor above us.
Next, we dined on Honey Baked ham, au gratin potatoes, asparagus and rolls to nourish ourselves for the arduous task of present opening the next morning.
The children then performed in our Christmas Eve talent show.
David transformed Power Mast Optimus Prime while blind folded.
Jaws performed, "Hot Cross Buns" and "Cold Cross Buns" on the piano.
And took a bow...
Little Chief performed his well practiced stand-up comedy routine...
Abizella made delectable frosted sugar cookies for our delight.
Superkid delivered an originally composed propaganda speech about how the world is actually shaped like a donut, not a globe.
Then we all climbed into our family jammies to open our family gifts to each other.
We then stated our heart felt desires for Christmas gifts:
Jaws wants a reindeer, Rowelette plush and Snoopy plush
Little Chief asked for a Transformer's Siege Omega Supreme
Tadpole would like a Transformer's Titan's Returns Fortress Maximus
Abizella wants a Red Rider beebee gun
Superkid would like weapon grade plutonium.
Then came the hard part- wrangling all of this energy into bed!
I after hearing the jangle of jingle bells I rushed into the living room to see the magic!
