Finally a Christmas recap.

Christmas Eve we went to my parents house and ate a wonderful traditional meal with Ham and the works. We then hung out. The kids always receive a gift the night before. Nathan was ECSTATIC to open a present.

They received pajamas. Nathan has a gorilla on his shirt and the girls are matching with bunnies on them that say snuggle bunnies. They are really soft.
My mom has a cool snowman collection. Most of them light up or play songs. The grandkids love them.


This was Natalie's favorite snowman. She even figured out how to turn it on and off and would dance to the music.
Christmas morning. We told Nathan that he was not to wake us up until after 6 am. He patiently waited, but quickly informed us that he woke up at 5:09 and it was really hard to wait. Preston heard Nathan and Taylor in the family room a little after 6. We had to wake Natalie up. I took this picture while Preston was getting Natalie. Taylor really had to go to the bathroom and Nathan was too excited to wait another moment to open presents.
Here are some random pictures of the kids opening presents.


I think this was Taylor's favorite gift. It is a princess MP3 player from Santa. She tells everyone that she got an Aw-Pod (Ipod) :-)



Natalie loving on her new doll that she received from her Nana.


At 9:00 that morning my parents and Sister came over to our house for brunch. Then we all hung out.
Taylor sleeping later that morning.



That evening we went and played at my parents house so that I could work on the traditional Christmas puzzle. Nathan took some time to play on his new pogo stick. As you can see he only got half dressed that day. Those are still his pajama pants because they were sooo comfortable for him and he really wanted to wear his new shirt too. I think he has worn that shirt 5 times since Christmas day.
