Christmas Morning

Each year we get the girls a "big gift" and several small ones. This year the girls decided they wanted new comforters, pretty pillows, and fun things for their walls. I was very happy with this because I love shopping for these things.
Kev and I caved in and let them open the comforters Christmas Eve. They were both very happy and rushed right to bed.

On Christmas morning the girls opened gifts from mom and dad, grandma Donna and Grandpa Tom, Grandpa Jim and Grandma Ann, and last but not least Santa. They received so many great gifts, I don't even know where to begin and would attempt to name them all, but I know I would forget something wonderful. I included some pics of the girls opening gifts. They were so sweet this year. They actually sat and watched each other open. In years past they just ripped things open and then looked later at eachothers things. This year they slowed down and really enjoyed their gifts, it was really nice.

Once we wrapped up opening gifts Scott,Christine and the kiddos phoned and said they were on the way to visit. We then began making Christmas breakfast. When they arrived we had breakfast, played with all the kiddos for a bit, opened up presents and then played some more. It was wonderful. I wish I had pictures, but I was busy running back and forth cooking Christmas dinner, so I was not able to get any. However Christine was able to get some great pics and has posted them on her blog.
