The kids woke ups around 8 which was super early Hawaii time but worked well for me since I was up until about 2 pm pacific time. After making the kids pose for the Christmas morning photos the got to open their presents.
The HUGE present for the year was for Sarah. We finally gave in and got her the turtle {tortoise} she has been asking for for years.
Meet Yortoise the Tortoise
We wrapped the terrarium with all the things she would need for a turtle in it and she opened it last. When she opened it she was rather confused and someone asked "what do you think would go in there" I had the turtle in a small box and walked over to her and said "I don't know, what do you think of this?". We thought she would jump up and down with excitement but instead she started crying saying "Oh my gosh, a turtle, a turtle, I NEVER ever thought you would get em a turtle!" She broke down in tears and made everyone else cry also. Oh except for Ian. He would want that pointed out.
