Before Christmas Eve service.
On Christmas Eve, listening to Santa review Guillermo's Christmas list.

Christmas Day was a wonderful, relaxing, rainy day.
The day started at 5 a.m. when Maya, who had fallen asleep on the couch on Christmas Eve, woke up disoriented in Guillermo's room and cried that the Halloween music that she likes to fall asleep to wasn't on. Twenty minutes later, she had to go to the bathroom and was cold, but she didn't know or remember that it was Christmas. I got her back to sleep and she didn't wake up again until 7:15 a.m.
The rest of the morning we spent opening presents, eating breakfast and playing with toys. Guillermo's big gift from santa was a Lego Star Wars Magnaguard Starfighter ship. Maya received an playdoh ice cream set. They were thrilled and Guillermo wanted to put his Lego set together right away. Later he opened a new Jedi reading Leapster game and pretty much threw in the towel on the rest of gift opening so he could play his new game. Maya didn't want to stop, though. As much as I tried to keep up our tradition of one gift at a time, she would discreetly tear the paper off the sides of her gifts. When my parents brought out the bike they bought her, she looked almost scared at first, but she rode it around the living room a few minutes later.
It was pouring outside and the kids spent the whole day in their pajamas and nobody minded one bit.
