Christmas Morning!

How did we wake up Christmas morning? 

At 5:00, we hear what sounds like glass shattering. Oh no! Must be something of mine I am thinking. We soon find out it is the bell from Ella's  new bike Santa got for her. What was Santa thinking???  He could  have accidentally let that blasted thing fall into the trash.

Luckily, she did not ring it but a couple of times and we were able to get a little more shut eye. A couple of hours later( yes..my kids are threatened understand I need my beauty rest), I wake up to 2 girls telling me in their horrid .....dead skunk .......non fresh breath that Santa came and there are presents out there.

And so the Christmas marathon begins.........we get up, get ready, start breakfast, eat breakfast and open presents. 

The girls got bibles this year.

Carmel's parents were able to join us this year for Christmas.

Santa brought us matching aprons.

We had a great Christmas morning but stay turned we are not even a third through the day yet.
