Christmas Morning!

For many years now Mom and Dad have always put the presents

 under the tree and stuffed the stockings after the kids go to bed on Christmas Eve.

 This year Glynne, Dad, "Ally," and I set the presents out

 while Mom took Jonah and Jenna to bed.  

 

I made the cinnamon-rolls, while Dad made a fancy

 breakfast casserole thing that was super yummy!  

This is the only night of the year the kids actually want to go to bed.

We should have Christmas everyday!

7:30 Christmas morning...

8:00 a.m.

Jonah was pretty hard to wake up until we told him

 Santa came to our house last night. 

He LOVES Santa!

8:15 a.m.

Before we read the Christmas story, Dad explained to Jonah who Jesus is.

Anytime anyone said anything to Jonah about Jesus he would drag whoever it

 was over to our nativity scene and show them the "baby Jesus." 

8:35 a.m.

Dad is always "Santa" at our house and makes sure the

 presents are all distributed evenly.

Jenna's first Christmas! She was probably thinking why

 God gave her to such a crazy family! LOVE her!

Us kids all draw names so we can get each other special

 presents. I drew Landon and since he likes to read, I got him 16 of his

 favorite, some of my favorite, and some new books to read.

 I think he was happy!

Dad picked out these gorilla slippers for Jack, 

the look on his face when he opened them was adorable!

Mom got Glynne two wedding planner books.

 She got engaged two days ago and was super happy!

 (I will write a blog about her engagement as soon as we get the pictures!)

9:30 a.m.

We always open our stockings last. Drag it out as long as you can, right?

Well, hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!

Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who

 preserve their life stay far from them. Start children off on the way they should

 go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Proverbs 22:4-6
