Before we left to go to Washington we opened all of our presents from each other. Kirsten called this Christmas Junior. The kids woke up early just like on Christmas and we took turns opening presents. Of course the most exciting presents came at the end...Colton's Polar Express Train that was set up under a blanket (max heard us setting it up the night before and came downstairs so excited about the train). Colton was absolutely thrilled! And Kirsten got the Barbie house she has been dreaming about. Actually she saw it on the front porch a few weeks before Christmas so it wasn't much of a surprise, but she was still super excited! Max was really excited about his trucks and ambulance.
We had a huge mess to clean up since we were leaving the next day to go out of town. Colton was absolutely devastated when we took the tree down. When we got back home from being out of town, Colton would ask almost everyday if Daddy was getting a new tree or if Santa was at our house. He finally got in the car and said "Christmas will come again." Since then he's been okay with the fact that Christmas is over.
