Christmas morning fun...

Our Christmas was wonderful! We have so much to be thankful for and so much joy in this house. We started pretty early on Christmas day in order to fit it all in. We had to wake the kids at 7:30, but both were in pretty good spirits, ex specially considering no one likes to be woken up!

And Henry was very excited about the gifts under the tree. He got lots of musical toys since he just LOVES music of any kind.





The funniest thing was that although Henry enjoyed the gifts, Lily loved getting and opening her toys. I've never seen a little baby care so much about gifts. Last year Henry really didn't get into it and he was a year. She LOVED it! And anticipated every gift she got. She would watch us open it and just watch us and bounce up and down. And then she would take her toys one by one and study them and play with them. She's so funny!




























I took a lot of Lily. But hey it's her first Christmas and two she is just so darn cute!!:)



The rain deer antlers were classic. Henry didn't want anything to do with them but Lily didn't mind:)






This was her first little piece of jewelry. Cute on her little wrist!

Very into opening her gifts!







Henry had a great morning too! He is just so busy these days. It's like pulling teeth to get him still for a moment and to look at the camera.


After we got up and did our Christmas together as a family of four we headed to Kyle's parents to do breakfast with them. We spent the morning there and opened gifts and enjoyed some family time. Then we came home for naps for the kids and around four my family came over and we had dinner and a fun night. My mom's husband got a Wii for Christmas and he brought it. We all had so much fun playing that all night!!Here is Henry in his new chair that says Henry on it, with his guitar. He was hilarious with that thing. He holds it correctly (he has watched his daddy play a lot) and just jams on it. It really was so entertaining to watch him.


So now it's all over. I feel like today is the fist normal day in two weeks. I have to say I LOVE Christmas but it has exhausted me. Now I am ready to get back to our normal schedule. I have so enjoyed having Kyle home so much though. It is hard to give him back to work!! Henry's birthday is Wed so things aren't completely back to normal but almost!! I hope everyone had a joyous Christmas no matter how busy because it really is so joyful because no matter what, it is the celebration of our Savior Christ's birth. I don't know of a better reason to celebrate do you??
