Merry Christmas everyone!  What a wonderful day!  This last year has gone so fast and it’s hard to believe it’s Christmas day again!

As usual, the kids got up early and woke us up.  They were so excited to go downstairs and were very temped to leave mom and dad behind!   They were very good, however, and just sat at the top of the stairs while we rolled out of bed, threw some water on our faces and got ready to celebrate!

The kids (and mom and dad) were very excited to see what Santa had brought and dropped off!  Ben was the most excited about his dump truck and loader, Zach screamed out loud when he saw his Indiana Jones had, bag, and other props, and the girls really liked their stuff: sleeping bags, books, shoes, movies, candy, etc.  Sarah even liked her ACT prep books!  🙂

After we played with the Santa presents, we had a little breakfast and then opened the presents under our tree.  We love opening gifts from family.  This year was great because the kids made things for  each other and it really meant a lot (especially for mom and dad)!  🙂

After cleaning up, we lounged around the rest of the day, eating junk food, watching movies, playing with toys, etc.!  We love relaxing when we get a chance!  🙂

Merry Christmas everyone!
