Christmas

Christmas morning was great! We woke up at about 7:45am at started in the front room with stockings at Santa presents.
Parker was thrilled to get Handy Mandy, transformers and bakugon. He loved all of it!Andrew loved the little robot he got, especially since he asked Santa for a small one.
Caitlyn received several barbie type dolls, lots of earings, candy, art supplies and gum!
Alyssa is officially a pre-teen with more make-up than a drug store.
Mariah has picked up sewing this year and was so excited to get a cutting mat, rotary cutter, material and patterns.
Present time! I didn't take too many pictures of the presents the kids got, but they were very spoiled this year. Each child received a book or book set, a large set of legos and several other toys.
Aaron spent a lot of time helping put together lego sets and unbox toys for the kids. He is such a great dad!

I was happy to get a beautiful necklace, nice flat iron, 5 Glee CD's, and some fun nail polish.



We unwrapped Christmas presents slowly this year and did not finish until 10am. Then we had brunch of cinnamon and orange rolls, hash browns, sausage, bacon and eggs.
Once breakfast was over we got to sit around and be lazy. It was lovely!
My sis-in-law and her family came over at 3pm for finger foods and games. I have come to love our new tradition of a very relaxed , low key Christmas day. Spending time with family is the best thing about Christmas.
