Christmas Morning

We enjoyed a lovely Christmas morning reflecting on the birth of our Savior, eating yummy cinnamon rolls, opening gifts, and then playing with our gifts.  This post contains tons of pictures in hopes that our family who was not here to celebrate with us will feel like they didn't miss out.  Enjoy! 

(Click on collages one time to open new window and a second time to zoom in--any picture can be opened in new window by clicking on it.)



Daddy reminds us why we celebrate Christmas as we reflect on the Christmas story and the Gospel.


We began our gift exchange with a little "Christmas surprise."  The girls have really been in to tricking/getting us this year, so we thought we would pull off a little practical joke of our own.  Here's there reaction:




We didn't even have to pull the baby out of her stocking --Emerson knew right away that it was her very own baby to love. SO sweet!


Special dolls for everyone.

Mommy media multi-tasking as usual.


A rocking horse for Emerson.



A Keurig for Daddy.  Hooray!












A gift from Grammy to our whole family.

Love all the pictures, Lori! The practical joke was great. Looks like you got them back good. :) And the "three generation" picture of you, your babies, and their babies is extra sweet! ;)
