The great thing about having extended family is you get two Christmases. We celebrated our second Christmas with my side of the family yesterday. Actually since it is January, I guess it would technically be the first Christmas, just very early.
I am so thankful that I have three kids who are so happy with whatever they have. We always ask them what they want for their birthday or Christmas, and so many times we hear, "Well ... I pretty much have everything I want." The only thing we can be guaranteed that they will want is more stuffed animals. They can't get enough. (I believe they have around 70 and each has a name and is related to each other in some way.)
We notice at Christmas though as we are opening presents, we almost have to remind the kids they have more presents to open. As soon as they open one, they just want to play with whatever they got (unless it is socks), and forget about opening anything else.
