Christmas Morning

After waking up several times throughout the night with both kiddos and us both not feeling well, we finally rolled out of bed around 9:00AM.  We knew today was going to be a busy day, but we always wanted to spend some of the day with just our family.  We let Emma open the Christmas presents at her leisure and then we had to prepare the food dishes we were taking over to Michael's aunt's house.  Also, at this point we already knew we were going to be late for the breakfast brunch at my parent's house. 

 

 We decided to take our time and get there when we get there.  After many phone calls and text messages to get an update on how we were doing, we were finally on our way out the door to my parent's house, where my Grandparents had been waiting for us.  We were just a little late (okay about 2 1/2 hours late), but we also knew that we had just spent the evening with them the night before, and we would see them again throughout the week (especially since Greg and Jill are in town).

 

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

 

 

Santa Claus came to our house!

 

Minnie and Mickey were waiting for Emma.

 

Santa even left a message on Emma's new easel "You were very good, Emma and Mason.  Enjoy your presents.  Merry Christmas!"  signed Ho Ho

 

Here comes Emma Christmas morning.

 

All smiles when she saw the Minnie and Mickey.

 

A little blurry as she was running so fast!

 

Those little guys made her Christmas day!

 

With Minnie and Mickey by her side, she can now begin to open gifts.

 

A bead and number puzzle for learning to count.

 

 

A new little people toy, the ferris wheel.

 

But Emma kept going back to her Minnie and Mickey.

 

Lining up her other gifts, bath products and bubbles.

 

Mason didn't know what was going on, but he was a good sport just watching.

 

Staring at her brother while we put him on his tummy.

 

Just a little tummy time, but mainly wanted to see his little Santa booty.

 

Not a big fan of tummy time, but that's okay.

 

Emma didn't want Mommy to take any more pictures of her.

 

Last one I got, me and Emma on Christmas morning.
