Christmas Morning Video

Christmas Morning.

Well Evan and Eliana must have been extra good because Santa sure left a lot of presents under the tree! Here's Eliana discovering Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Santa left Evan the most AWESOME monster truck. Grave Digger!

Evan still had sleepy eyes, but had plenty of energy to open all his presents! 

What's in the box???

Evan was so happy to try out his monster truck!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Well, more like the morning of. At 6:58am, I discovered that Santa had visited. 

Eliana in the Nutcracker!

After weeks and weeks of Saturday morning ballet classes, Eliana made her stage debut in the Nutcracker on December 21st. The curtains opened at the very beginning of the show and there was Eliana with all of her classmates as the 'Sugarplum Fairies.' Photography was prohibited, so I had to sneak these, which is why they're not so great, but you can definitely see her. I didn't think it would happen, but I was moved to tears when I saw her, so proud!

Here's the excellent behind the scenes video Mommy was able to shoot from the side of the stage!

Evan took some photos of me lifting the snowman parts into place.
