Christmas Day

MERRY CHRISTMAS! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and continue to have a wonderful new year! We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. We love you all and thank you for all you do for us!
We had a very nice Christmas day. Lily was in our bed and woke up at 7. She wanted to get up so we went and woke up Max, crazy I know. The kids had a nice time playing with the kitchen and a tool set left by Santa. We had a big breakfast and around 9 Max asked if we could open presents. I love the kids at this age, they want to play with everything they open, try it on, watch it... Christmas lasts so much longer this way! Here are just lots of random pictures of our day at home... My mom gave all of her girls darling home made aprons and a book called the Christmas Apron. I love thoughtful, meaningful gifts like this!
All Max asked for was a Handy Many tool box, he has been asking for it since he was 2... so Santa got it for him this year.

Max mentioned around noon that Lily was the only one of us dressed...

I thought the superman costume with the cowboy accessories was funny. He is smart in being able to use everything at once!
Please notice the picture with the tight PJs (oops got them too small this year!) with the cowboy boots and spurs, while shaving! He is a true cowboy now..heaven help us...We did a lot of laying around...Lily would have watched princess movies all day while holding her new princesses..

Around 3 we got together with the same friends from Christmas Eve. It was such a nice day. We were spoiled with way to many gifts. My favorite part of this year was the song Silent Night. My kids learned it, just by hearing it often I guess.. they know the Sarah McLachlan and Josh Groban version the best (my 2 favorite albums of Christmas music that I own). It just melted my heart every time they would sing it... Lily often says, "oh my favrit song mommy, my favrit!" It is sweet to hear them sing such a sweet song. (yes even sweeter then when they sing the Black Eyed Peas, I Gotta Feeling...)

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I just felt/feel so blessed this season to have all we have and the wonderful people we have in our lives!
