Christmas Morning

The kids actually stayed in their beds until almost 7am this year.  Of course, I think they were awake before then but they did manage to stay quiet until close to the agreed upon wake up time!  Lots of presents to open and everyone was thrilled by their gifts.  As usual the kids made each other homemade gifts.  JP made the trio personalized hot cocoa mugs, Ryan made everyone bubble bath, Caitlin made mustaches & Madison made playdough.  We spent the day just relaxing and playing with toys.  Before bed, Madison and Caitlin started crying because they didn't want Christmas to be over and a few hours late JP did the same thing.  I think that means it was a success. :)

It begins!

 Opening stockings!
