Merry Christmas!!

We always start Christmas morning by reading the Christmas story from Luke as a family. The kids cuddle up in bed with us, we read and talk about Christ's birth and how he's our gift. The kids enjoy the tradition and while excited when we get there, never rush through to get to presents. After a quick pic on the stairs, we head to the living room to open the much anticipated Christmas morning presents.

 We have pretty laid back Christmas mornings. The kids don't wake up crazy early- they pretty much sleep until normal time or a little later. I think they slept until almost 8. This year we decided to take turns opening almost every gift instead of tearing them all open at once. I was able to enjoy each one opening and their reactions for everything. We may not do that every year, but it was nice. 

Now it's Stocking time!

 Jakey is sooo happy he got his "Squishy Iron Man"! He's been wanting it for awhile and we decided he was pretty good with Legos and it would be worth getting even though he's under the age. And Sheriff Callie down there is keep us safe!

I love you all very much! Merry Christmas 2016!!!
