Last year we had to coax Sarah downstairs on Christmas morning. No need this year. She was very excited to see if Santa had brought a mommy for Sweetie, her seahorse.
It took some convincing to get Sarah to open her stocking before we checked out what was under the tree. She finished taking everything out of her stocking and then burst into tears because Sweetie's mommy wasn't there. We quickly reassured her that there were still plenty of presents to open.
Santa came through! Sweetie will be so happy to see her mommy!
Santa brought Chris a set of cars and buildings and a rug to play with them on.
Kelson's big gift was a copy of Washington at Valley Forge for our office. For me, Kelson arranged with a local watercolor artist to give me lessons. Best gift ever! I had asked for a butter dish, and he found one made by my 6th grade teacher, who is an artist, and included a personal note from her. I have an awesome husband.
From us, Sarah got a Littlest Pet Shop set. Yard sale find!
For breakfast, I made cinnamon rolls, pecan sticky buns, and a hot chocolate bar.
Later in the morning, Jeremy's family came and we opened all of our presents for each other.
So much happy chaos!
Amy made these adorable play houses for the kids. Sarah got a house with a little garden set and Chris got a barn full of animals. So cute!
Aunt Jehana sent the cutest pajamas!
It was a happy day full of playing with new toys.
Prime rib dinner, Christmas crackers, and paper crowns.
By afternoon, the poor men were just worn out. Christmas is exhausting.
