Christmas Morning

I still love Christmas morning just like I did as a child - well maybe not quite as excited. I do still like to wake up early on Christmas morning. This year I woke up and baked Cinnamon Bun Pull Aparts, maybe the beginning of a tradition.

Then off to the stockings:

Simon, pretty excited about his own "SNAIL"(adhesive):

Micah with one of their many Montreal Canadians gifts:

Calleigh so excited about "BOOKS". She took awile opening all the gifts in her stocking because she really cherished each one & wanted to look them over before moving to the next gift:

Simon with his new MC toque & Jeff Gordon wall hanging:

The twins with their new bibs from their stockings:

Then we took a break to eat the Pull Aparts before going into the living room to open gifts from under the tree.

Calleigh with her Magic Oven from Uncle Andrew & Aunty Shancelle:

Thank you!!

The Walk & Ride toy that we gave the twins.

My helper Calleigh with her apron & measuring cups/spoons.

One of Dad's gifts from the boys.

And one of the favorite gifts, a goalie helmet for the boys when they play hockey downstairs & outside. The wore this lots for the first few days, even while playing the piano.LOL

This year we spent the entire morning at home just allowing the kids to play with their toys & enjoy their gifts a bit. It it was nice to not be rushed before heading to Bryan's parents for the rest of the day. Although we were all hungry by the time turkey was served because they had all eaten a big brunch before we got there.
