Just Like Heaven: A Crockett Christmas

So confession time. I have a serious problem. I seriously can't wait until Christmas to open presents. Well really it's no secret. I especially enjoy having my family open early the gifts I get for them.

And so a couple weeks before Christmas I convinced Wesley to open the gift I got for him. And so for the second year in a row, Wesley got his presents early. (I imagine there will be many more years just like it). And I just have to say, opening gifts early totally doesn't spoil the fun...for me.

In order to convince Wesley (who would prefer to wait until Christmas morning) to open his gifts, I had the kids open their Christmas ornaments at the same time.

Here they are, my family. So cute.

The kids especially enjoyed the fact that Wesley's gift came in a diaper box. We all had a good laugh.

(No Jared wasn't the present)

Sadie's First Ornament

Right before we left for Oregon for our Christmas vacation Jared lost his first tooth. A totally cool experience for both him and us.

At my dad's.

This is a typical scene at my mom's house.

The boys playing Wii and the girls beating up on Papa Larry.

So this is totally childish, I know. But it was also so much fun to run around in hundreds of circles laughing at the sheer fact that this was so dumb. Yes my brother did get video taped wrapped for Christmas.

And I just love walking into the room to things like this. Sadie is definitely her daddy's daughter.

Back at my dad's we decided to go for a walk on his property.

Sadie is excited to be outside.

Then about an hour later.

Look at those Crows Feet! Yikes I'm getting old!

Isn't she cute!

FINALLY, Christmas morning!

We did hold out and we decided not to open some of our presents. But you can definitely bet they were shaken and rattled. :)

Sadie was so tired from all the excitement of presents (really I'm not sure if she was aware of what was going on) or enchanted by the Christmas lights that she promptly fell asleep by the tree.
