Christmas Morning!

As you can see, Paul was armed with the video camera, so I didn't take many pictures, but we had such a wonderful morning! Caryl was so excited and a little overwhelmed by all the gifts there were for her to open!

Also - you can see the empty plate and cup and the chewed-on apple. Carly was not so happy that Santa ate all the cookies. =)

She kept saying "Oh my gosh!"
Searching for pleasants!
Paul LOVES his Wheaties jersey! Thanks, Mom and Dad!
Oohhh looky there - someone must have been a very good girl this year!
(In case you haven't been within twenty yards of me for the past month and half, this is the red leather Carly bag that I haven't shut up about.)
Carly played with all of her presents...and then midway through "helping" Daddy put together her Thomas set, she brought her new baby in to see it. She even gave the baby to me while she went in the other room to get the little bear.
It's more difficult than you'd think to get all those pieces lined up the right way.
Carly, discovering that the baby's eyes open and shut.
