Christmas Eve Surprise

Every Christmas Eve our kids get to open one small present. This year we decided to let them open one BIG present together. We told them it was something we didn't want them fighting over, and it was something we couldn't take back. As their minds stirred wondering what it could be, they were all a bit confused when they opened it up to find a baby car seat. It wasn't until they read the accompanying chalkboard that those looks of confusion turned to giddy excitement; "188 DAYS UNTIL BABY."

Our kids have begged for a baby sibling for a few years, and Kyler has often talked about "his little brother" as if it were a certainty.  As the night went on and the kids processed it more and more, it was fun to see their excitement rise. This is one Christmas Eve they will never forget.
