Our own Christmas

This past weekend I had what turned out to be 'the good fortune' of working on Christmas day (more on that later). Yes, it is not ideal, but we made it work. Kinley, of coarse, has no idea about the magic of Christmas and Santa so she made it easy and Hunter didn't care when Santa came just as long as he did come. Well, Santa must have received our letter because the morning of Christmas Eve we woke up to a very pleasant surprise.

(Hunter's pile is to the left and Kinley's one measly present is to the right.....Don't worry, she still got very spoiled)

Hunter grabbed his stocking from his bed (Santa always pops in to lay the stocking on our bed and whisper a Merry Christmas to us as we sleep....I know kind of creepy, but it is a tradition my parents started when I was a kid). Anyway he woke up at 6, and then of coarse his excitement just spread quickly through the house because shortly after Kinley decided to wake up....and so our own Christmas morning began.

First, we sat on the stairs and sang 'Happy Birthday to Jesus' and then the kids attacked the gifts...And in no time all the gifts were opened, so we all enjoyed a home cooked breakfast, and spent the day playing with our gifts and enjoying the snow!

We hope your holiday was as blessed and filled with love and laughter!
