Christmas Morning

Christmas morning for our family holds a few traditions every year without fail! We get up early, open up our Santa presents, open our stockings, and then our presents from each other. When we are done, we eat a yummy breakfast, and then go to church. We always go our own seperate ways after that, to spend time with different family members (mom goes to LeeAnne's, Brandon goes to Neil', and we go to the Cicon's). But our time together in the morning is always really special time, full of smiles!

Brandon opening his stocking presents - more socks!! The boy got a LOT of socks this year!
Sporting our Santa presents - new Lulu sweaters for all three of us!
Mom opening her stocking!...mmm candles, her favorite!
Jon all excited about his new toque!
Mom's new crib board! Jon and I spent all of December making three of these crib boards - one for mom's (whose ended up being my favorite one), one for Tim, and one for my Grandpa. Jon cut all the wood, inlaid the middle piece, sanded it all. I measure all the holes and did most of the drilling! Then we carved the respective names on them, and Jon stained them! They turned out pretty well... very handmade! Mom loved this crib board so much she took this picture of hers!
Only one thing left to be said.... I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
