Well, when the kids woke up on Christmas day they didn't even remember that it was Christmas! I told them to go look out in the living room and then they of course were excited to open their gifts. They also hadn't even seen their stockings hanging up so I gave them those first:

Abby testing out the wagon:

Jamie's cocoa mug (which he told his teacher was his favorite gift, along with a $3 microphone):

New bath squirters, because the old ones were squirting mildew {yuck}!

I made Abby a photo album with pics of her and her family:

We read a new book as a break from opening presents (to make it last longer):


Wall-E!

New colors!

This is her "how do I get this thing open?" face:

The mess:

Christmas breakfast:

whole-wheat blueberry pancakes....

and brown-sugared bacon:

Me getting ready to cook most of the day (I made lasagna completely from scratch, including the noodles - don't worry, I had fun!)

Hangin' out and having fun! We did not go anywhere on Christmas day, it was so relaxing. We had spent the previous evening with Chad's family and my parents brought presents over to our house at dinner time! What a blessed Christmas we had!

Looks like you had a nice Christmas, We should have dropped in for breakfast!
Love the first pic of them sitting next to each other. And I need the pancake recipe.
The whole day was filled with really good food, thank you Anna.
I might added that the pancakes were made on a grill that I got my wife...
Oh, and the look on Abby's face trying to open those markers is priceless..
