Matt and I got up very early Christmas morning! I woke up at 5:45 and Matt was shortly behind me. With the kids on the other side of the house, we wanted to be sure and be up when they got up. I started our christmas breakfast and we waited for them to wake up -- we sat at the kitchen table and played UNO while waiting for them to stir. That was such fun! Just the 2 of us, hanging out and waiting for the kids to wake up, drinking coffee, playing cards and talking about our Christmas memories from growing up.
The kids woke up about 6:30 -- Madeleine and Harrison first. And they saw that Santa came!
Madeleine got the Saige doll that she wanted, a Lego Friends boat, and a table and chairs for her AG dolls.
Charlotte got a doll bed for her babies and highchair and a new doll.
Harrison got a new spark scooter, Lego train and the huge gator he's been wanting.
A boy and his gator. Love at first sight! He had dreamed up a big gator and asked it for santa for Christmas. We'd never seen one, but he was sure that the elves were making it special for him!
We had breakfast before opening gifts that day. We had cinnamon rolls, quiche, paris puffins, and bacon. Yummy!
Then it was time for gifts! We had a great, messy time opening gifts that morning!
The kids spent the afternoon playing with toys, we all watched a movie and then it was time for our big Christmas dinner! We had ham, baked fruit, mashed potato casserole, green bean bundles, rolls and our favorite peppermint pie for dessert! Yum! What a way to finish off Christmas!
