Christmas Morning

We had a quiet Christmas morning. The kids didn't wake up too early, around 7:00. We make them all come to our bedroom first and then Jim and I go out and turn on the treelights and get our cameras ready. That's my favorite part, seeing their first reaction at what's been left under the tree.

Ries wasn't quite sure what to expect but thought it was great fun anyway. He was happy with just one gift, wasn't interested in opening anymore.  They were able to open a couple gifts and then had to wait for  their grandparents.  We had both Jimmy and my parents over for breakfast and opening of presents.  It was really nice to have them and to be able to be at home.        Santa brought T.J. an electric scooter, Josie a pink Green Machine and Ries a pound puppy.  It was a great day!
