Christmas Morning

After we got home from Granna/Granstan's, we got ready for Santa to come.  Lily was in charge of the cookies, Eden was in charge of the carrots for the reindeer, and Parker was in charge of the milk.  We also went outside to sprinkle our reindeer food so that the reindeer would know where to land!

We had had such a busy day that it didn't take long for all three kids to be sound asleep.  They were so excited when they woke up on Christmas morning to see that Santa had not forgotten them!  Parker got Skylanders Swap Force (a new video game) and Eden and Lily got an Easy Bake Oven.  Their stockings were also full of fun things like swords and new pajamas.

After stockings were opened, we passed out the presents under the tree.  The kids each got two presents- one was full of new books and the other was something from their wish list. 

Lily loved her new Pete the Cat books and I've lost count on how many times we have read them this past week!

Lily LOVED her new pink nap mat.  She can't wait to take it to preschool next week.

Cory got me a new necklace that says "I love you to the moon and back".  I LOVE IT!!

I know I say this every year but I'm so thankful that we don't have to travel at Christmas.  Being home with just the five of us on Christmas morning is one of my favorite things during the holidays.  I know our kids are not always going to love hanging out with their parents, so I want to savor each moment while it lasts.  I'm so thankful for a great morning full of wonderful memories!
