ahhh Christmas, one of the longest days of the year. With lots of visiting friends and relatives, lots of commotion and lots of love and food. Getting kids to go to sleep on Christmas eve is a chore and a half, but finally they fell asleep at1am. Then big mean mommy woke them up at 7:30 this morning to show them that Santa came and left them presents for being good and helpful this year.
I was surprised they wanted their cereal first and made sure to eat every last bite!
I must be doing something right with the kids, they came into the living room and sat on the couch and waited for mommy and daddy to bring them the presents they could open, I though for sure they would run to the tree and start ripping open every present they could.

Opening presents didn't take as long this year as it did last year. They opened all their presents fairly quickly so they had more time to play with them.
The ghost buster car was one of the top gifts (thankfully, that one was hard to find)
The wrestling ring and wrestlers are the winning gifts for Christian
and the best gift of them all!
The ghost buster house!!
and the opening and putting together takes place ( I swore that took me hours to open everything and put toys together for the kids)
After all of that we had to get ready to go over to my family's Christmas dinner. Getting four kids and a husband ready to go anywhere on a regular day is a chore, let alone Christmas day and tearing kids away from their toys, next year everyone can come to us, that was the most horrible thing I had to do as a mother so far, I felt soo bad.
But once we got there all was forgotten.
Christian was chasing the cats that are scared of kids
and the best baby facial expression ever! I'm so happy I captured a picture of this!
I asked him for a smile and I got one, and only a smile :)
my boys <3
and my girly and I
I love Christmas and how happy and thankful my kids are.
I'm pretty lucky to spend every holiday with an amazing husband and some pretty amazing kids.
I hope all of you had a great Christmas too and took the time to help others and remember to love <3
