Christmas Morning & Dinner

To ensure a Christmas morning that didn't start at 6:00am... we told the kids that they couldn't wake us up until 7:00am. We had a half of a Christmas movie recorded on the dvr that the kids could finish watching and Jonah knew how to find other little cartoons in case the movie ended before the specified time. Sure enough.... it worked!

Here are the anxious kids waiting at the top of the stairs to see if Santa came!

Katie John checks out her stocking and finds a princess memory game along with new toothbrush and toothpaste and shampoo and conditioner.

Jonah grinned from ear to ear when he discovered santa brought a Star Wars lego set... He also got silly putty and a chess set. Santa hit the nail on the head this year with him.

Sariah shows off her stocking filled with coloring and activity books. Santa also brought her Snow White toys.

Keira seemed only interested in the candy cane she managed to unwrap (with help). What a cute picture!

Sariah is demonstrating how to eat scones with powdered sugar and butter, the classic Christmas morning breakfast.

Katie John was chosen to be Grandpa's gift helper this year. As a "trainee" she learned the tricks of the trade this year crawling around the tree fetching gifts for Grandpa to hand out. She did a really good job.

The whole gang at Christmas dinner! Yummy!
