Christmas Morning Goodies

Some pics from our nice and slow Christmas morning this year.  Slow for me, that is.  JOSH got the kids up at 6:15 this morning to see what Santa left out and in their stockings.  That is straight up crazy.  I am not sure what got into him.  


Luckily, I had left the kids strict orders not to wake me up until 8 at the earliest ... and only then if they came bringing me breakfast in bed. :)  They did just that with our traditional Cinnamon Roll Sunday breakfast of champions.  How cute is this chick?!


Also, how cute is this stuffed bear she made on her sewing machine for Lasa?  Cute as can be!  She only suffered one meltdown in the making and when she was done, she tucked it in Lasa's stocking.  Adorable. 


Anyway, back to Christmas morning pics ... which I will let do the talking.  



















And oh yeah, these two gifts the kids opened on Christmas Eve.


That Playmation set Noah opened early is his favorite.  The piano is Anna's and Josh's fave.  Lasa's fave is her Journey Girl doll.



Not to sound too unChristmasy, but by noon we were taking down the Christmas decorations to find room to place said piano and Lasa's play kitchen.  It was bizarre to do takedown so soon, but it just felt right this year so we got while the gettin' was hot ... namely, while Lasa was napping.  Ha! We left the front of the house all decorated still so as not to Bah Humbug the neighbor's view.  

Other than all that, we are excited to have a full week of Josh to be home again and are looking forward to spending it as slowly and productively as last week ... Josh has it in mind to paint the living room and kitchen.  And I have already begun painting the island in the kitchen - from pine color to white now.

It was a Merry Christmas for all!


And with that, we say Goodnight!

Berry is darling. The teepee ... is taking up space. Rearranging Anna's room now to make it work. Wish us luck!

Put that in teepee in the baby room!! So much space in there!

What was Noah's lego gift???? a game? Couldnt' tell. I love that shot of Anna with her lego set...that is EXACTLY how Natalie is when she gets a new set...I don't even see her face either. Such fun!

Oh, Lasa's room has NO room. She has a lego duplo table in there and a little tent someone gave us. We have since moved the duplo table out to make room around the play tent. I cannot wait to get the crib out. Or Josh's recliner. I keep dropping hints that it needs to go ....
