Tad has been off work all week so I haven't hardly been on the computer. We've been busy around the house. But I have a few minutes (honestly, just a few) to blog about our Christmas morning at home.
I had to wake the kids up on Christmas morning because they were so tired from our Christmas Eve service at church. Then after church we went to my Dad's mom's house to open gifts, so we didn't get home til late. Drennan actually woke up at 5am, but we managed to convince him to go back to bed and we woke him up at 7:15am.

I love the expression on Micah's face in this picture. He asked for a Ghostbuster (his all-time favorite movie) belt buckle.


The kids each got a checkerboard/chess board. Drennan got chess pieces. Micah and Lila got checkers. Lila's board is pink.


Harry Potter DS game.


Jude got a weed eater. He loved it! I use past tense because after a few minutes it stopped working. We ordered a replacement and it, too, stopped working. So sadly, we have to get him something else.


I don't have a picture of Lila's new Lee Middleton baby doll. She loves a doll that she can cuddle with and sleep with, and she loves her new one.

After we opened presents, we went to church for breakfast and the service. Afterward, we went to my parents' house for lunch and to open gifts with my sister. I asked Tad if he brought the camera and he said no. Sometimes he likes to just enjoy the moment rather than worrying about pictures. For dinner we went to my Grandma's house and opened more gifts. By night, we were very tired. The three bigger kids spent the night with cousins.
The next morning we opened gifts with my other sister. Since this blog post started with Christmas morning. I didn't mention that we opened gifts with my in-laws on the 23rd. It was a great Christmas, but a very busy Christmas. I still have to take down decorations and get things in a little more order before school starts back. Thankfully the weather has been great and the kids have been playing outside a lot.
