Christmas Day 2014

Merry Christmas!! While we had a super fun day, we are also mindful of the real reason we celebrate.. the birth of Jesus. I hope and pray that we always remember that first and foremost in our family.

This kids were up early despite getting to bed late (shocker..haha) and full of joy and excitement for the day. They were SO excited to open presents!



Harmonicas in their stockings... who's great idea was THAT? (oh, yeah.. mine. HA!)
Overjoyed with his transformer toothbrush!
Just what she wanted... :)
Bumblebee!!
These two brought me to tears with the ornaments they made for us.  They are so perfect!









Here is the video of the kids opening their "big" gift from Doug and I. The kids were SUPER excited to find out that we're going to DISNEYLAND!! To celebrate getting through the past 6 months we are heading to the Happiest Place on Earth in February and we can't wait! By the end of the day the kids had already packed a bag...haha!!

Puffed pancake.. it's what for breakfast every Christmas!

Cheers with sparking cider!

Enjoying their toys...
This may be my favorite photo of the day. The kids are waiting for their Aunt, Uncle, and cousins to get here, sitting on the hearth looking at a map of Disneyland! :)

Doug's brother and family, along with his aunt Mary came over for the afternoon. We had a lovely time hanging out with them, enjoying being together. 







Mitchell offered to help Matthew with his new lego's.. he's so great with my kids!
Posing with his uncle's wine. You probably had to be here to fully get this photo.. but it was pretty  funny!

We all went to bed with full bellies and full hearts! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
