Christmas morning and in traditional fashion we're up bright and early to enjoy the many wonders of the day! Vianne checks out the filled stockings...
Discovering the treasures the stockings beheld!
And then to the tree! Vianne did a great job at her big sister duty of guiding Oliver through the various excitements.
Cousin gifts! Vianne was delighted with her Wonder Woman costume, which she then put on and wore throughout the opening of her other gifts.
And Oliver got a duplo set!
Fun gifts from Grandma G.
A Mjolnir for Daddy
Bob Staake favorites
And...what's that under there?
Elsa's ice castle!! (thanks, Vine!)
A basketball hoop for Oliver!
Love his Michael Jordan face!
Slam dunk! The kid's a natural!
Got the Christmas clothes back on
And Granma & Grampa & Uncle Jon came over to join us for a Christmas feast!
Picnic 'round the Christmas tree
The Christmas dress didn't last too long, back into Wonder Woman in time for some more presents!
Taking the ornaments off the tree and getting away with it because he's so darn cute
Finally getting to eat the gingerbread men
Presents, round two!
Tractors! (This face. You just want to kiss it.)
Oliver put his new Pooh blanket to immediate use.
"Thanks for the presents, Grampa!"
He loves his new laptop!
Then we spent the afternoon & the next day playing and watching Frozen and eating & eating & eating and doing puzzles and enjoying the beautiful weather! A very cozy & delicious celebration of Christ's birth for us all.
Patrick thoroughly enjoyed the decorations on this pastry
Tea party with her new tea set
Reading with Grampa
Cutest little cookie sneak
Enjoying Daddy's homemade peppermint ice cream while watching Frozen
Making orange rolls for breakfast (because we didn't have enough sweets yet)
Sharing treats under the stockings :-)
Praise the God of all delights for His wondrous gift of Life; and for this wonderfully meaningful happy blessed Christmas together!
