There's Treasure Everywhere
Christmas morning is literally my favorite part of the whole year!
We still have the tradition of having the kids go one at a time through the white sheet.
I thought the whole white sheet thing sounded weird when Andy first told me about it, but the kids absolutely love it.
Stockings first.
Joey got to open the first present...
because he needed to join in the Christmas jammies coziness. He grew so much (he's 6'1'' now) that he doesn't fit in his pajamas from last year. He specifically asked for a onesie this year.
I just love watching all of the kids open their presents. I always wondered what age your kids have to be to have a fun, relaxed Christmas where everyone takes turns opening presents, and you stop midway to eat breakfast. The answer is 15, 12 and (almost) 10. We've arrived! It was my favorite Christmas morning ever.
Hannah cracked up that I bought her a package of Madeleines for Christmas. She's always begging me to buy them at the grocery store.
Still excited about the Pop-Tarts from the night before...and his new onesie.
Ellie loves getting Andy Taco Bell t-shirts.
Grandpa Hammond, who passed away last year, always got Andy's mom cherry jelly for Christmas. We wanted to continue that tradition. Ellie inherited her grandmother's love of cherry jelly, so they both got some.
Andy got his Dad a t-shirt from his favorite restaurant growing up-the Original Westlake Joe's He still goes any time he's in the area for business.
The sweet cuddling on the couch may have been a Christmas miracle, but it didn't last long!
The guys were all happy about the games and electronics they got.
Andy's cousin, Phil, randomly saw that Zelda puzzle at a store and thought of Andy so he sent it to him for Christmas. We took this picture to thank him.
Later that afternoon we headed over to my parents's house for Christmas dinner. We played Codenames. Somehow it's impossible for us to play that game without cheating.
For Christmas dinner this year we went with enchiladas, rice and beans. It was a big hit!
We ended the night with another Christmas singalong.
