Merry Christmas..it's not too late!

I'm finally starting to wrap up December.  I have just a few more posts to go.  I just love all the celebrating that we do and I especially love celebrating Christmas Day because of the joy I feel as I see my little ones' faces light up.  They were as cute as ever.  The boys were awake first around 6 am.  However, we didn't realize that they were awake as they were given strict instructions to remain in the basement until we let them out.  I had my cell phone by my bed and told them to call me on it if it was past 7.  Oh, those poor boys.  How I remember experiencing the aniticipation and how long it seemed to take.  Curtis woke the girls at 7, so off we went!  It was pure delight.  They all came charging into the room and Evey seemed to know right where her stuff was.  She headed right to her "chicken" (kitchen).  The girls were screaming and the boys had some ooos, and ahhhs.  So fun!

Here they are hard at work!  We try to have them open a gift one at a time so that I can mentally note what they were given.  So, we managed alright.  These aren't the best pictures but they're all I've got :)

We were happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Hancock along for the ride.  Grandma got this snuggy (a blanket with arms and a pocket).  Wasn't she so kind to share!

The wonderful aftermath.  Mom's thinking, "where will it all go?"  I love Evey's expression here. 

Grandma and Grandpa treated us to a yummy Christmas breakfast of Eggo waffles, bacon, egg nog, and orange juice...mmmmm.  Thanks, we loved it!

Another Christmas to remember!  How can it not be so wonderful.  We really are blessed to be able to give to our children and to give them the knowledge of our Savior's birth.  Merry Christmas everyone!
