Twas early Christmas morning, when 6am did tock
We awoke to, "MOM! It's CHRISTmas, and Santa brought me a CLOCK!"
We hurried out of bed to see the Christmas joy
On the smiles of two sweet girls and in the hearts of two sweet boys
The magic of the season was alive as it could be
As exclamations were heard of, "Look what Santa brought to me!"
Stockings filled with goodies, all the way up to the brim
And a room full of laughter while thanks we gave to Him
A morning spent being lazy with the ones we love the most
While munching on some bacon and some tasty cinnamon toast
Before we did believe it, it was time to open more
With the annual gift sorting spreading 'cross the living room floor
All the pretty wrapping were filled with simple gifts
Like cups, shoes and sleeping bags - each granting a special wish
They didn't need the lavish paper, they didn't want the big surprise
They just needed the joy of each other - you could see it in their eyes
My favorite part of Christmas is the gifts between the kids
Each is so excited about what the other one gets
Emmy picked a prize from her class treasure chest
A bouncy ball and blue frisbee was truly the very best
Their smiles were gigantic from the very start
For such a tiny person, she has the biggest heart
The gifts kept on coming but that was not the treat
The thought that was behind them made the day extra sweet
The childlike anticipation of opening each box
And the incredible reaction whether it be a candle, hat or socks
I couldn't help but pause and say a little prayer
A lifted praise to Jesus for what He gave us here
My heart just can't accept it, my brain can't understand
What in the world I did to deserve a life this grand
Surrounded by each other, overflowing with so much glad
And to top it all off, we get to be their Mom and Dad
Good tidings and sweet wishes, so much merry and bright
Sharing time and making memories made the day a perfect sight
The big kids all wore smiles that spread from ear to ear
So happy with the company we got to keep this year
Nothing major, big or flashy happened once throughout the day
Just some lunch and games and napping, what else can I say
Happy Birthday Baby Jesus, we sang as the day did end
Surrounded by our family so much more than just our friends
Hope you all had a beautiful Christmas celebration!
