A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas was absolutely magical this year. Watching the kids come downstairs and stop to see the tree and presents awaiting them was priceless. The first thing they did was check the plate of cookies to make sure Santa ate them. He did eat most of the cookies, but they were pretty happy to see that "Santa has some for me!" Then we moved on to gifts from Santa, which are never wrapped and next to their stocking full of little goodies. Roman couldn't have been happier with his new blaring gun and he thought he was really cool and tough:Karoline was an absolute delight...even though most of her presents for re-gifts!
Once we were done opening presents from Mom and Dad, we headed over to Grammy and Grampy's house for a delicious breakfast. I love Christmas breakfast because it is the one day of the year that I feel like I can eat my absolute favorite dessert, cinnamon rolls, and not feel guilty! YUM! Tanner, Drew and baby Isla joined us for breakfast and more present time. Capri was thrilled with her Rapunzel doll she received from Santa, but was even more excited when she could dress up just like her doll:
Drew, Tanner and baby Isla-such a cute and happy family!
Roman and his sword that he literally never put down-thanks again Spencer!
Baby Lala and baby Koko as their Grampy has named them so well:
Rapunzel or Sleeping Beauty?
The day was perfection. The kids slept in until 8:00am, I stayed in my comfy sweats all day, ate and ate (the breakfast was followed by a full turkey dinner that night-I know, talk about serious holiday pounds!), and just relaxed while my kids played happily with their new treasures. What a great way to end the holiday!
