We had a wonderful but busy Christmas day. I will fully admit my children were spoiled! Payton did amazing all day though. She was very polite and was really happy with everything she opened.
We started the morning with just the four of us. Payton woke up early so we let her sit in our bed for a bit. I quickly got things ready downstairs...turned on the tree lights, made coffee, brought the milk glass and cookie plate back out, and set up the video camera. Then Payton & Bryan headed down stairs and checked out the milk and cookies Santa had drank & eaten as well as the gifts that he had left. We then snuggled on the couch and read the Christmas story and talked about how it was Jesus' 'Happy Day'. Of course then it was present time. The problem with spreading out your Christmas shopping you tend to forget how much you have gotten...this happened to us this year. However, Payton was very happen with everything and she wanted to spend time playing with every gift after it was opened so it took us a while but that was ok with me. I enjoyed watching her. She was so entertained by her gifts that when there were a few left we decided to call it quits and let her open some after her nap. It worked out really well and gave her a chance to open gifts all day long.

After gifts with the four of us we packed up the kids and headed to Bryan's parent's house to have breakfast and open gifts with his family. Again, the kids were spoiled but what do you expect from grandparents. :) 
The extended Myrick family showed up around 12:30 and again...more presents! Bryan's Aunt Carol buys the kids something every year. Last year Payton got her Fisher Price doll house from her and this year got a talking baby with a bed, chair & table, and bike that responds appropriately to when in eat item. It's really cute, a little annoying but cute! (She does have an off switch...thank goodness) Charley got an activity table. He was very entertained even though it wasn't even out of the box.
So like I said, we had a wonderful but busy day. 
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
