He had to wait though until his sisters were ready. Lauren and Kristin were not enthused about being up so early (it was 7:00 am) and we reminded them that they were the same as Zach when they were his age.We did our annual picture on the stairs before heading down.
They checked out the tree and Zach said, "Whoa!" when he saw all the presents. Then he announced that "Santa came." After checking to see if Santa ate our cookies and reading the note he left us we opened our stockings first and then opened the presents under the tree. Zach was very good at handing out our presents, he took charge of that and made sure we had at least two in front of us at all times. Here's one of the presents he got, a Texas Longhorns sweatshirt. Now he can really look like his dad.
Paul got a head massager. It kind of tickles when you use it.
This present, Criss Cross Crash, was the one thing that Zach asked Santa for. It was probably his 4th present that he opened and he was very excited.
Here's Megan with her zebra Pillow Pet.
They all got one. Lauren got a panda, Kristin got a penguin and Zach got a monkey. They're so soft and cuddly, I want one too! Megan also got her DSi that she wanted and a few new games to go with it. She got some clothes, books, stuff for her hair, and a game she can play with her friends too.
Here's Kristin with a new DS game, a cooking one. This game has tons of recipes that you can make and I guess it tells you step by step how to cook them. Plus there's a shopping list you can check things off as you buy them. She's excited to start cooking now.
She also got a new bike (picture of that later), a jewelry box, lots of clothes and books and new slippers.
Like I said, Zach was very good at handing out the presents. We took turns opening them so we could see what everyone got. We went youngest to oldest with Paul and I included. It got tough after awhile though because Paul and I didn't have as many as the kids did so Zach crawled under the tree looking for more presents for us!
I didn't plan this but Lauren's two big presents she didn't open till near the end. She asked for Uggs and a North Face jacket. Here she is with her jacket...
Besides those two things she also got a bare escentuals starter kit, a few clothes, some Flyers gear (yoga pants and short sleeve shirt, NOT a jersey!), books and some lotions and hair stuff.

Santa was good to us this year, we got a Blue Ray player too!
Kristin's bike wasn't wrapped, it was just sitting next to the tree with a blue bow on it. It's been so cold that she has yet to try it.
So presents are done and now it's time to play! Here's a short video of Zach playing with his Criss Cross Crash.
