everyone kept telling me that christmas was coming, so i knew he'd be here pretty soon. the night before he came, i noticed that a few presents were under the tree, but the stockings were all empty. grandmom told me that santa was going to come and put presents in them, but i was a little confused 'cuz santa was lying on the carpet just like he usually does (see previous post). i wanted to just go ahead and open the presents that were there. i didn't want to wait. that night, i had a hard time falling asleep. every time my eyes got heavy and drooped closed, they would suddenly shoot open and i'd say "we're all gonna open presents!" eventually, though, i must have fallen asleep.
i woke up very early (it was barely light out at all) and started jumping up and down in my crib, singing "we're all gonna open presents" over and over again until ema finally came and got me. there was nothing she could do to calm me down, so she let me sing at the top of my lungs until we heard everyone else starting to get up. we went downstairs and there were tons of presents. so many more than there were the night before!
but we didn't start opening them right away... for some reason, horse (uncle mathew) had disappeared for a while and we couldn't start until he came back. we never did quite figure out what he had been doing while i was bouncing off the walls desperate to open all the gifts! here are some pictures of me waiting:
