Christmas 2009

What a wonderful time we had! We spent Christmas morning at our house for the very first time this year. Ever since George and I started dating, we have always been at other family members' homes for Christmas morning. It was nice to wake up in our home with all of our wonderful Christmas decorations and our HUGE Christmas tree.

Per Savannah, Santa was not allowed to come into the house - but it was okay for Dad to meet Santa outside and get the gifts. Thanks to Dad helping Sanat out, we woke up to a couch full of Santa gifts and full stockings. Now one would think at the age of 3 the present opening would be like a tornado going through the living room. Not in this house - Savannah would tear off one piece, usually little, at a time and place it on the floor in a pile, then onto the next piece. Needless to say, we spent a LOT of time opening gifts. :) Mason had some help opening his gifts and seemed to be somewhat intrigued with each of them. He managed to stay awake for most of the Christmas happenings. As always Jake and Dixie took part in the present opening - they especially enjoy the boxes of cookies that they receive.

We spent Christmas day afternoon with George's family at his parent's house where we proceeded to slowly open more gifts - well at least Savannah opened things slowly. George and I have present opening down to a few seconds flat. We finished our evening with a wonderful dinner and yummy desserts.

On Saturday, we spent the day with my family at my parent's house. Once again with the present opening. Savannah had to move a little faster this time to try and keep up with Lynlea and Chloe. :) What a little peer pressure will do. After the presents were opened, we had another fabulous dinner and more delicous desserts. I don't think we will need to eat for the next few weeks.

We received so many wonderful, thoughtful gifts. I guess we can say that our children, and we, are well loved.

Here are some pictures of our two day Christmas celebration:



Hoping you all had a wonderful celebration and enjoyed family time as much as we did!
