Our Family Christmas

"Christmas" morning at our house was actually Christmas Eve morning but clearly, our kids are too young to notice. It was such a nice morning hanging with the kids, opening stockings, getting excited about their big Santa present, having breakfast and opening presents together. We're hoping to establish this as a tradition in our family--spending the morning together with the kids enjoying them. They were excited, we were excited and for once--NOT RUSHED!


First look of excitement when he saw Santa came!


Can't believe Santa ate the cookies and the reindeer ate the food!


Look what Santa brought Gavin!


And he brought Sydney a present too!


Testing it out.


That's my girl.


Stocking time. Seriously, I could eat them up.


Mom and Sydney in all their morning beauty.


Our tree.


Checking out their new books.


Helping Daddy with a present.


So excited--he's a big boy you know, ready for big boy games.


Ripping off the paper.


Playing with Daddy.
