Christmas Morning

Mom and dad, they had to get here really early so the kids would not beat them and have everything opened.

Dylan got a bow and arrow. He wants to be like his daddy.

Maddie got her guitar. She wants to take lessons. I love this picture. She is so excited.

Having breakfast.

I forgot to get a good picture of the kids upstairs when they first woke up. So this was an after thought.

Dylan did a good job pretending to like his clothes.

Macy is opening her first gift from Santa. She was very matter of fact and did not get really excited.

Maddie was pretty pumped.

The tree before the kids attacked it.

The kids woke up Christmas morning and were very excited. The tree looked terrific and they could not wait to rip open all of their gifts. Grandpa and Grandma always come over Christmas morning and they put all of their gifts in the basement for our family. First the kids opened their gifts from Santa and then we had a huge breakfast. Around lunch time we moved on the the basement and did their gifts that were under the tree down there. For the first time we did not have to leave the house on Christmas at all. It was different, the kids and Mike loved it, but I was a little sad. I love tradition, and it was weird doing things differently.
