Christmas Morning

The sight early Christmas morning!

Opening their stockings!

Trying to get a picture of all the kids by the tree that morning before opening presents was a bit of a disaster.  I woke up Hannah for the picture, which in hindsight wasn’t the best idea, so she got hungry and was crying and the boys were just so excited they couldn’t sit still. Oh well, the pictures make me smile anyway.

Opening Santa’s presents first!

Then we took turns opening everything.  I’m always a little sad when Christmas morning is over.  You spend hours planning buying and wrapping presents and then in just an hour it is all over.  The kids loved everything and were SO happy!

After opening the presents I went out and hurried and sholved the snow before my parents and Mike’s family arrived.  It snowed a ton Christmas Eve and morning!  Then we were able to enjoy playing with all the new toys!

Christmas Cookies and Lights

(This post should be before Christmas Eve post for blog book)

Hannah in one of my favorite outfits that she got at the baby shower.  Little maroon pants with ruffles on the bum and a pretty heart onesie.  And look at that smile!

After playing in the snow for hours we came inside to rest and make cookies for Santa to eat (and for us too!)  The kids did great helping me, taking turns and decorating the cookies.  They were so excited to pick out which cookie of theirs they wanted Santa to eat.

Then our tradition of driving through the Christmas Lights!  The boys’ excitment for these lights are always magical for Brian and I.
