Christmas Day

The advantage of opening part of our gifts on Christmas Eve is that we don't have to get up super early on Christmas morning.  :)  Benjamin and Elijah were up at 5:30 am working on their Legos, though.  Good thing they kept their door shut and didn't wake the rest of us.

We were all up soon enough and had our traditional Monkey Bread for breakfast.  With peppermint coffee to get us going, we dove into the rest of the presents.

Seriously?!  This was his request.  It's official; he's old.

Cutest bug ever!


After a quick pick up around the house, we had the Halls over for Christmas dinner.  We needed a Grandpa and Grandma here and they needed some grandkids for Christmas, so we made a good match, just like last year.  They came bearing yummy, yummy cheesecake and some beautifully handmade gifts.  We enjoyed a meal together and spent the afternoon visiting.  Mr. Hall has a deep voice with a Mississippi accent that I could listen to forever.  :)  What a very special Christmas!

What a great Christmas you all had, and the days leading up to it. I especially loved how you included Mr. and Mrs. Hall into your day. What a blessing you are.
