This year Ashton and Dominic celebrated Christmas really early. This was not on purpose. I happened to be on the phone with my mother when the UPS man arrived with all of our Christmas presents from her. She insisted that we open up the main boxes to make sure there wasn't anything broken (she had sent a few glass items and some pasta). Then she wanted the kids to open THREE presents each. I said no way. We comprimised. They opened all of them.
All it took was a little team effort of Ashton, Daddy, and Monty and Dominic joined in on all the fun. Everyday since we have had this repeated converstation:
Ashton: Open more presents please mommy?
Me: There aren't any.
Ashton: Go store and buy more presents?
Me: No honey. Santa Claus is coming soon.
Ashton: Ask Santa Henry.
Ashton: Santa bring me Donald and Douglas!
Then Ashton happily runs off to play. He firmly believes that Santa is bringing him every Thomas the Tank Engine train there is! I guess we will just have to wait and see. Thanks Grandma!

Hahaha! I love the 'compromise'. I've been having to hide all of the boxes as soon as they come in the mail for that same reason.
