Christmas 2008 brought oodles and oodles of Joy to the Campbell house. To start, Mommy and Daddy got to sleep in until 6:30 am! Sawyer woke up first with a smile as usual and Sydney was apparently awake already but just waiting to hear someone else awake. As soon as Daddy turned on the "toons" for Sawyer, we heard Sydney squishing around upstairs. So Sawyer and I did what any red-blooded man would do... We went and got her out of bed and promptly sent her to jump on Mommy to wake her up!!!!! Hey, it's Chriustmas!
Oh, the excitement was everywhere in her big blue eyes. She kept asking if Santa came and if Toodles told him everything she asked him too. (Toodles is Santa's elf that is stationed at our house to watch and report back to Santa every night.) Sydney remembered however to wish Baby Jesus a Happy Birthday before going into the room to dive into her presents. Mommy and Daddy are very proud.
Syd was very patient for a 3.8 year old and was very happy to open Sawyer's presents for him. Sawyer was more intent on playing with the wrapping paper, that is until the sky opened up and provided him with a 3 foot tall ELMO!!!! Oh boy, that kid won't put Elmo down now! We then had a Tea Party with Sydney, Elmo and Sawyer at the kitchen table. Actually Sawyer wasn't invited by his big sister but he saw fit to act like Swiper and steal the tea cups every chance he got. Syd was a champ however and she thought he was funny.
Mr Jake and Mrs Amy came over for dinner and they brought Eli. And as Sydney says, where there is Eli, there is CAKE! The kids had a great time playing and the grown ups had a great time as well.
Off to work again on the 26th but it is ok because this Christmas was the best one yet, until next year!
