CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Christmas Day was simply wonderful at our house!! The kids woke up a little before 8am and came down to see what Santa left. Here they are coming downstairs into the living room.








Kristen was VERY excited when she discovered a cell phone in her basket of manicure/pedicure stuff!!! She was in tears!!














Kristen had to call her best friend, Olivia as soon as she found her cell!











Gran Julie came over to watch the gift opening. We were so happy to have her join us for Christmas morning!! I think this will be a new tradition!!!





Aaron dumped Ian's stocking for him but Ian thought it was much more fun to scoop up the stocking contents with his new excavator!!

















Momo showing Gran Julie all the goodies in her craft box!










After all the gifts were opened, we all just enjoyed playing together with all the new stuff. I cooked a nice Christmas dinner and we had a nice relaxing day.













Thank goodness for unlimited texting!!!



























Playing Twister Hopscotch!!! Yes, this was Christmas day and the kids were outside in shorts and tees!!!!!! It was around 80 degrees!






















Later that evening, Aunt Gina and Uncle Carroll and Uncle John John and Aunt Erin, came over to eat. The kids opened a few more gifts and Grandpa opened all of his gifts ( he was sleeping while we were up early).














What a great Christmas it was!!!!

What an awesome Christmas you had with such great gifts. I loved seeing Kristen's face in the photos when she got her own cell phone. It just made me smile. I can't wait until we give Hannah one. Thanks for sharing.
