Christmas - Top 10 Signs Your Child Has To Many Presents




I know this is late but what can I say...I have been busy.  Ava and Sophia loved all the gifts from Santa,  her grandparents and Aunt Kelly.  We had a great time opening gifts, spending time with my mom and we even got to Skype with Daddy!  As you can see the girls received a lot of presents so I had to come up with a Top Ten List of Signs Your Child Has To Many Presents.

10.  It takes 2 evenings to wrap presents.
9.  When stopping at the post office you get so many packages in the mail from family that you can't fit it all in the car and should make two trips but fortunately your mom can squeeze that last box in her lap.  The guard at the gate even laughed at us.
8.   It takes 3 days for your child to unwrap all of her gifts.



7.  You can't walk into your walk-in closet because it is stacked from floor to ceiling with presents.
6.  It takes 3 hours to place all the presents around the Christmas Tree.
5.  It takes 3 days for your child to unwrap all of her gifts.



4.  Your toddler actually shares her toys with the neighbor kids.
3.  Your child enlists the help of the neighbor kids to open her presents.
2.  Did I mention:  IT TAKES 3 DAYS TO OPEN ALL PRESENTS!



And the number 1 sign that you child has to many Christmas presents is......

1.  When you tell her she still has more presents to open, she cries and says,"No more presents."



We are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives who take the time to send us these wonderful gifts.  Because of their thoughtfulness, Ava, Sophia, and I were able to have a great Christmas considering their father is deployed.  Thanks again to all the grandparents, family, and friends who keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  We love and miss you all.
