Christmas Morning

For the first time in our 6 1/2 years of marriage, we were at home on Christmas morning! It was so great, I think we're going to do all we can to make that happen in future years...we'll see how it goes. It was so nice to be able to just do things at the pace the kids wanted. It took us the entire morning to get all the presents opened since after each gift, the kids just wanted to play with their new toy(s), so we let them! Here are some pics from our day together.

Levi got a Quad. When he first got on it and pressed the button, it obviously moved. He laughed hysterically, then hit the button again. After each time he pressed the button, it resulted in laughter-it was awesome.

Levi also got a tent/tunnel he enjoyed.
And a new workbench!

Addie got a big wheel...

Accessories for her baby doll,

And a dollhouse!

Riding down the hallway:Levi as Santa:Early on when asked what she wanted for Christmas, all Addie would say was "a hat like Levi and Daddy have." So, it was Daddy's job to get her a hat. She was so excited when she opened it!

Levi got a little doggy...and showed his love for it quickly:

Addie and myself both got rolling pins!

New ornaments (as well as Addie showing off her new toothbrush)!

Daddy got a tent from the kiddos for Christmas-he's hoping to take them camping before too long!

Levi had a blast and was exhausted by about 10:30 (after having got up at 7:30 that morning)-he just couldn't handle all the excitement for too long!

Later, we were able to take some new toys outside to try them out. Hurrah for warm temperatures on Christmas!

Nothing like riding a big wheel in your Christmas dress...

The kids also helped Mommy make cupcakes for Jesus' birthday!Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Trying out more of her new toys:

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
