Christmas 2015

We woke up Christmas morning at our usual time - around 7:30. We had a pretty leisurely morning opening presents and enjoying some breakfast. This seems to be the year of Legos and Star Wars. The boys each got more than one of each and even Addie got a Lego set that was pretty darn cool.

Eliana slept through most of the excitement, so it was a very quiet and peaceful Christmas morning. This was one of the first Christmases that we were at our own house and there was no one visiting. It was glorious and small and quiet. Just the way it should be.

Adelaide got lots of books and lots of My Little Pony.

There were several hours dedicated to Legos, and it made everyone happy.

See - everyone happy. And mom and Eliana got to hang out in a very quiet family room. It was beautiful.

The rest of these pictures are from the Sunday after Christmas when I tried to get everybody dressed up nice and take a good family picture. It ended up just being extremely stressful and not turning out at all. Oh, well. At least the pictures of this cute girl in the dress that Addie wore turned out adorably.

We love our Christmas Eve pajama tradition. This year we were all red-ish. It was fun opening our presents and getting ready for Christmas morning. We had some yummy food and took cookies to our neighbors, we acted out the nativity and took some pictures. It was a great and relaxed day at home.

Talking to Dad

This little girl has started getting quite a personality. She loves 'talking' and smiling, especially with Dad. She laughs and smiles at her siblings too. She basically likes her family and is so much fun to have around.

Sometimes Grandmas demand family pictures, so we oblige.
