We had a typical Christmas celebration with little kids: Charlotte woke up cranky from her nap on Christmas eve, Noah threw up the night before Christmas morning... but then there were also lots of smiles, giggles, glowing eyes and mouths wide open under the tree, excitement, ripping open of packages, joy, wonder, and sweet sibling love.
Ahhhh, some days and nights can seem long & endless but the years fly by and the moments are fleeting -- it was a very merry first (and third!) Christmas to be treasured.
