Gifts Under the Tree!

Last night I tried to wrap presents in "my favorite room" - surrounded by babies in jumpies (see earlier post)! I quickly found out that James wasn't fond of the paper - not sure if it was the sound, color, or the fact that he was tired. He soon ended up in my lap, and the wrapping experience was over! One present down, countless more to go! Morgan LOVED the empty cardboard wrapping tube - we would talk through it and she would just kick, jump, & giggle! Madison was amazed by the entire process --- paper, ribbons, tape --- she'll be in the very middle of it next year!
I also realized that the present I was wrapping wasn't nearly as exciting as the little ones watching the ordeal! Christmas definitely isn't about the presents UNDER the tree, but the people in life that surround the tree during this special time of year!
The "front row" gifts under the tree are actually boxes filled with bricks! We made a "wall" so the little ones couldn't destroy the other packages. We've only had a few ripped papers and crinkled bows, but the babies have enjoyed every minute.

Our tooth count for the week is 8! Madison has her 2 bottom teeth. Morgan decided she didn't want to be left out and showed us her two bottom teeth 2 weeks after big sister. James has pulled into the lead with 4... 2 bottom center and 2 "fang" teeth on the top. We are waiting for his top center teeth to pop out any day!
