Our present-opening actually started a few days ago when Ryan got to open his present "from the kids". Surprise! He was not at all surprised to find the 400-disc Blu-Ray player he has been wanting (since he was the one who ordered it). The surprise was that I had it wrapped within hours after it arrived on our porch -- before he got home from work -- and he had to wait a few days to officially open it! But the boys were nice and let him open it last weekend so he could play with it before we leave on our trip.
Today it was fun for Ryan and I to watch the kids open presents and be so excited about every single gift. I also love being able to spread out the fun . . . now they can enjoy these presents for a few days before opening more on Christmas!
