Merry Christmas 2013

We have always done all our gifts and celebration on Christmas Eve, but this year was a little different.  Jeff had to work (working nights right now), so we had to wait until Christmas morning to really dig in.  I did, however, wrap a couple of things that the kids could open so they were ready for Christmas. :)



Annual Christmas PJs


 After dinner and presents, the kids and I popped some popcorn and snuggled up on the couch to watch A Christmas Story before bedtime.
 Milk and Cookies were set out for the big guy
 They must have been good, because Santa left a special gift under the tree for each of them.






CHRISTMAS MORNING

The kids got up (not too early!) to see what Santa brought
 Brandon got a new kindle, Cassidy got a lava lamp, and Ethan finally got his talking minion.  Next it was time to empty the stockings before tearing into the rest of the gifts.

 Cassidy got a kindle too!  She was pretty excited


 Cassidy made presents for everyone this year.  She made Ethan a custom ornament with her pixos.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and played Santa/UPS drivers as they delivered gifts from all our Idaho family. 

But first.... a feast!
 The kids didn't hesitate when it was time to dive in and open some more gifts





 These sure are some lucky (spoiled) kids!
 After all the excitement everyone was winding down, so we decided it would be fun to end the night by taking a stroll down Peacock Lane to look at the lights.



Merry Christmas!!
