The First Gifts of Christmas

My parents brought over gifts for Luke and Mia to open early. It is really nice for them to spread it out a bit. I know from watching Luke on Christmas that opening so many gifts on one night is almost overwhelming, and every year I feel like I am pulling his attention away from one gift so that he can open the next ... in a constant movement towards getting to bed so that he can wake up rested the next morning, only for it to start again!

So, when my mom suggested they bring a gift over for the kids, I was more than happy to have them do so.

So, this year, the first gift(s) of Christmas are (highly anticipated) Pillow Pets! Luke has been begging us for one for months now. Every time he sees one he makes sure that we know that he "really, really NEEDS one of those!" What the draw is to them, I'm not entirely sure, but they are super soft and the kids are both in LOVE! Luke carries his dog (now named Sam...as in "Uncle Sam" given his color scheme) around with him everywhere, and Mia is constantly kissing her little lamb ("mmm...aaaah").



Thank you, Day and Paw!!!
