Paul and I always stay up way too late assembling, wrapping, staging, and talking as we prepare for Christmas morning and I love it. It is one of the joyful rites of parenthood.
Charlie's super dog
George's big foot (we have Grandpa Blake to thank for planting the big foot seed)
This stocking hanger is my favorite Christmas decoration. My mom painted it during the tole painting craze of the '80s and I specifically remember watching her flick the "snow" onto it with a toothbrush (I thought that was the most ingenious idea ever).
I love looking at everything once it is all set up.
The obligatory "waiting at the top of the stairs" picture. That sheet you see in the background was part of a booby trap that Paul set up to make sure that the boys didn't go downstairs without us (he does it every year).
They are holding the gifts that they gave each other (we open sibling gifts along with pjs on Christmas Eve).
Charlie got a Leapster for Christmas and George got some new games for his so they spent a large part of the day like this. I love Charlie's belly.
We had an awesome Christmas and Paul completely surprised me with a new bike which had me jumping around and screaming with excitement.

Christmas Morning Magic. How have I not seen your new bike yet?
your boys are the cutest. Looks like christmas was perfect.
I love it too.. it's the best! It totally makes me feel all giddy and like a kid again.. setting up and making everything look all magical is my second favorite part.. my MOST favorite part is having the kids run into my bedroom in the morning and start describing everyone at once, a hundred miles an hour what all Santa left and how it's all set up & everything.. That's the best!
I love the way you take pictures, it captures the moment so well! I also loving staying up way too late getting ready for Christmas. Then I'm like a small child and I can't fall asleep because I'ms o excited! Your kids look so cute!
I love your pictures! Setting up is definitly the best!
Love the pictures, Amy. Those two boys together are so unbelievably cute.
I love the trap Paul set up. That is awesome!! Your boys are so cute and you are such a great Mom. Looks like you had a perfect Christmas morning.
I have that exact stocking hanger. That totally made me love you and your mom even more! I love Charlie's belly and his slippers too.
