This was our first year to be in our own home on Christmas morning(when we lived in Dallas we were always running back nd forth between our families). It has always been very important to me that we have that tradition as a family and get to spend time together as a family. So I was uber-happy to atually be able to do that since alot of my other holiday plans had been quashed by the stomach bug!
Avery was really into opening presents and did it with alot of enthusiasm. Pete was more excited about the present, wanted to play with it, and then didn't understand why he had to open up another one! Hailey just wanted to eat the paper . . .which quickly increased our clean up time this year!
I wanted to start my mom's tradition of having cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, but alas, I still was bit queasy, so that is a tradition that will just have to wait until next year! We very rarely had cinammon rolls growing up and this was such a fun thing that she did. In recent years, she has even been decorating the cinammon rolls in a tree formation!
All in all, we enjoyed spending time together and it was fun to get to watch the kiddos and their take on Christmas this year!
Avery with one of her favorite gifts . . .the Dora purse. She likes to put her keys and cell phone in there, prance around and say "hello!" "Boots! Helllloo!"
One of Pete's favorites . . .his perfect size football. His daddy is relly proud at how well he can throw and catch! We call him our little QB!
Yes, that is a HUGE yawn for our little baby . . .I know honey, it's way too early . . .please cue your brother in on that!
The tent! For some reason they seem to like the sheet that I drape over our dining room chairs better!! :)
One of the cutest things was this Black and Decker tool dress up/play set. What a hit! Pete refused to open anymore presents without his goggles firmly attached to his head!!
Mommy and her girls . . .. Do I still look little green around the gills?? :)
