Stage II of Christmas

We were awakened by a call this morning asking if we were ready to Skype. Thrilling!! We got to see Isaac with his castle, knights and horses, Josiah wielding his tennis racket with skill (seriously!) and Miss Olivia stacking her plastic french fries on her new dishes. So cute!! Jay allowed us to speed read his new book and Amy held up her new frame. Of course, we didn't see much of her---I think she was busily opening packages for the kids as Jay gave us the virtual tour.
Side note: Why is it that kids always like the junkiest toys? Out of everything the girls got yesterday, they immediately tore into the $1 purple glitter fake eyelashes! ha! I just had to ask....I think it's so interesting.
Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the Florida family open their gifts and playing! So much fun.
Liz (or Mama) showed up bearing her chocolate pie and soon Zach & Shanna were here for lunch. We ate well. Too well. But it was so good. Then we played a round of dominoes that Amanda got for Christmas. Now we're sitting around about to fall asleep while Zach & Andy are outside playing football.
....And now we wait for Stage III....
