6:00 AM. Slam. Silence. Slam. Silence.
I stumble out of bed, confused that Travis isn't yet climbing on me. The sounds of whispering and giggling lead me to the living room. Jamin and Travis cuddle together in an armchair next to the Christmas tree.
"It's Christmas Eve!" Jamin shouts when he sees me.
"Yeah, Santa!" Travis follows.
The kids are soaking up every minute of this most magical day of the year. Except for a couple of lingering grocery items, our shopping is finished. We plan to spend the day wrapping presents, watching movies, baking, and laughing.
