Christmas

On Christmas morning, we all split up into sections. We had the kids open their gifts first, then the adults, and we had mom and dad go last so we could all watch them open their gifts. I loved doing it this way b/c then we could watch one another, especially mom and dad.

Here's an overhead shot of the Christmas chaos

Felecia and Logan got Jake mega blocks - we've been wanting him to get these for some time now. He loves them1

When Santa came, Jake didn't warm up to him very well, but he was more than happy to take the candy cane from Santa

Spencer, Mason and Jake playing Nintendo DS

Mom and Dad's section - Good morning!

The Vick section
The Przybyla section
The Edwards section (I know - I'm the only one in the room all showered and ready. I prefer to be all ready for the day while opening gifts)
The Kerns section
The Hardman section
The pretty Christmas tree - it's 12 feet and goes up past the stairs
We had to create an assembly line to move all the gifts from the den to the Christmas tree. It took us a long time to get all of it under or around the tree

On Christmas Eve, we acted out the nativity

Don't apologize for showering and getting dressed before presents. You look gorgeous! That is always my goal, but then I give in to the extra hour of sleep even though I hate pictures of me in pjs, glasses, and bad hair.

So fun that you could spend Christmas with all of your family. I love the pictures of each little group. Looks like you had a wonderful time together.
