Christmas Day

Yesterday was the perfect Christmas...slept in (relative...7:30, but with three young kids I think that is pretty good for Christmas morning), stayed in pj's all day, cozy fire, hung out with my family, ate a lot of good food, relaxed and relished in the blessing of the gift of the Christ child.

Mckenna was ecstatic that Santa brought her the gumball machine she requested!
Baileigh's favorite was her Nintendo DS.
Brooke was happy and excited in general, but her Aquadoodle was a big hit.
The big family gift was a Wii and a lot of games and accessories.
Daddy got a Wii fit...this wasn't a hint, it was a request. I can't wait to see him trying Yoga!
Good old fashioned games were also popular this year with Mouse Trap, Operation and Connect Four.
Brooke got a piggy bank from Nana and spent the day filling it up with any coins she could find around the house.
We ended our day with a traditional ham dinner and a Wii game night. While it would be nice to live close to family and pile in the car and head to a grandparents house later in the day...there is also something nice about staying in pajamas all day and just relaxing as a family. Hope you had a Merry Christmas with your loved ones.
