This Christmas was especially special. This was Little Dude's 1st Christmas. Christmas Eve we went to mass, and then went out to Christmas Eve dinner. When we got home the kid's opened their yearly ornament gifts, and they got to choose 1 gift to open. Pillow Pets from Aunty. They had been wanting them FOREVER! Christmas morning was exciting. Little Dude was up by 4:30 so him and I went out in the livingroom, turned the tree lights on, and just sat rocking and nursing till around 5 when Sissy came out. It was such a wonderful time. Quiet, and special. I made Girly wait till 6 to wake up the boys. Then of course all hell broke loose! lol Stockings first, then gifts. We started a new tradition this year. The Christmas Pickle. We hid a pickle ornament in the tree, and on Christmas morning, whoever finds the hidden pickle, gets to open the first gift. It was fun, and it actually made us take a little more time opening and admiring each other's gifts instead of doing a mad dash towards their own name and thrashing everything.
