Stockings hung on doorknobs
Early morning hours
Sisters waking sisters
Oldest not so thrilled
Middle twirling in excitement
Youngest giggling madly
Wrapping paper on the bed
CD's, nail polish, lipgloss
Sisters taking turns
Oldest slowly waking
Middle admiring new things
Youngest dreaming of downstairs
Finally 6:30am
Time to wake the parents
Sisters send in the youngest
Oldest puts on slippers
Middle leads me to the door
Youngest jumps on Mom and Dad
Parents grumble, but slowly emerge
After several hits of the snooze button
Sisters sit on the top stair
Oldest is not a morning person
Middle smells the bacon cooking
Youngest wonders if Santa is still there
'All clear' is announced
Santa is gone and has left a bounty
Sisters tumble down to the living room
Oldest getting excited
Middle wants to hand out gifts
Youngest overwhelmed by the sight of the tree
Father reads from Luke
Mother finishes breakfast
Sisters sit in anticipation
Christmas morning has come

Love it! Brings back memories of my own Christmases.
Miss you too. I keep hoping you'll spring up, like, "hey! Just kidding about being thousands of miles away! I'm totally here!"
Sent you a present--hope it arrives today. Skyping soon. Just trying to breathe through these days. Bought four bottles of joy at Flannigan's today. :) Just trying.
So cute! You captured the memories well :)
