Christmas Day was our family day at home. Chad, Tori, and Alyssa came over to spend the day with us, so we had a huge breakfast to start everything off, and Anthony's parents joined us. We then sang some Christmas songs and had a little devotion.
Soon after, the kids started begging to open presents. I love seeing the kids grow up and get excited about Christmas. We don't do the Santa thing, and we don't have the kids list all the things they want for Christmas, so it's so fun to watch them open their presents and find what they got.
We had to do some more pictures in front of the tree. They cooperated pretty well, because they wanted to get it over with as soon as possible!
Yes, I finally put the camera down and let them open their presents in peace. I did have to jump in and take a few pictures, though!
Here's Nolan tasting his new Thomas bath toys.
The only thing Talon has really wanted for a long time, is Super Mario Bros. for the Wii. He mentions at least once a week that I should buy it for him sometime. So, when he opened it for Christmas, he was so excited!
Kaitlyn got a ton of new toys for her kitchen and baby dolls. Her little play house should be all set up now. She even got a cash register with all the bells and whistles, and a grocery cart to play store.
Alyssa had fun playing with her new toys, and helping the kids figure out theirs.
After playing for a while, the majority of us settled in for a nice, long, much-needed nap. When we got up, we went over to Anthony's parents for a little while for some dinner, then came back home for coffee and to open our stockings.
We had such a nice relaxing day!
Chad, Tori, and Alyssa...
