Christmas

We had an enjoyable Christmas. Matthew was a bit sick, including throwing up Christmas Eve morning, so we mostly hung out at home. We waited to have Christmas dinner until the 26th since we wanted to wait until everyone was up to eating it. Everyone loved the gingerbread pancakes that we had for dinner! It was a nice relaxing day.

The last few years, the kids have opened their gifts to each other on Christmas Eve. I love the looks of delight on all three faces as they open their gifts.

Sunday morning, we got up and opened our stockings before heading to church.

Excited kids waiting to be able to come down. Notice the red and green lasers on the ceiling and walls. The kids loved those!

Cheese!

After church, we opened our other gifts.

Megan and Matthew both made us calendars at school. They even decorated the paper that they wrapped them in.

Everyone got two Lego minifigures in their stockings.

Cris made us these two beautiful hand towels. Megan and Matthew made the calendars. They are completely different from each other, which is fun!
