Christmas Morning Unwrapped

Photo by Ryan Veldkamp

Christmas is a great time of year, our families love the celebrations surrounding the season. We still laugh about a Christmas when the three of us were 6 years old and our younger brother was 3. At that age, the excitement and buzz surrounding Christmas morning is palpable in any household, let alone a household with identical triplets! 

On this particular Christmas morning, Lou was the most excited. When Rhonda and I woke up we looked around our bedroom, but could only see our brother Mike. Lou was not in sight. We slipped out of bed and tiptoed into the hallway. The house was still pretty quiet, except for the giggling we could hear coming from the living room. As we got closer we could hear the crinkling of paper and even more giggling. Stepping into the room we were greeted by a small mountain of wrapping paper being tossed about by Lou who was sitting in the middle with an enormous grin on her face. All by her six year old self, Lou had unwrapped every single present under the tree. The upside was everyone was able to pick out the presents they really wanted that year, but we learned to keep a real close eye on Lou each Christmas morning!
