Christmas Day (2011)

Christmas with all of the family hasn't happened in several years, but it's just like I remember it:

Dad gifts on Christmas Eve (Dad always leaves a little something under our pillow before bed):

BB Gun ("you'll shoot your eye out)
CARS!

Cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve:


Waking up WAY too early to spy on what Santa left:




The MAD rush downstairs to check out the stockings:



And then passing out all the gifts and taking turns opening each one (a hard one for younger ones to wait their turn):
Surrounded by gifts (one word: SPOILED)

YAY-Cars Slippers!


Gotta love that Christmas morning bedhead!

George - happy about his Wall Street Journal subscription

Can't go wrong with homemade gifts for Great Grandma

A new blanket that Grandma made special for Jory!

It's anything Halo/Video Games for Julian

A new handmixer for the chef!

Can't go wrong with money!

Uncle Greg (still half asleep)!

Then it was time to get ready for church - which didn't start until 11am, so that allowed us plenty of time to open gifts, have breakfast and get ready to go. Of course we had to take a few pictures of everybody all dressed up:
All the boys!


Mommy & Gabriel

Three Generations: Mom, Me and Grandma

US

With my VERY special Grandmother.
After church we all came home and feasted on a yummy Christmas dinner of Prime Rib, Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans, Jello Salad, Rolls and Red Velvet Cake! We all went to bed with full belly's and happy hearts!
