Christmas Morning

I don't know about you, but we are ridiculously slow on Christmas morning. (as Josh, Wesley and Landon will tell you in no mixed words.)  There is something so beautiful about waking up hearing tiptoes to the Christmas tree and then shouts of joy as all of our little spies realize that Santa indeed did come...(even after all of Mom's threats that "Santa saw that and he might be moving your name to the naughty list...")  
We love to drag out Christmas morning as long as possible.  You know; make a nice warm fire, have a big delicious breakfast, read about Christ in the scriptures, tidy up a little, and then finally open presents.  I took this picture when we finally announced to the boys that it was time to open presents.  



We got distracted and forgot to take many pictures, but we had a perfectly beautiful Christmas together.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

We would have a revolt at our house if we had to wait that long for presents- And Jacob would lead it! Do they get to look in their stockings even?? I love how every family has their different traditions.

I am glad to hear that you had a wonderful Christmas. I understand being distracted from taking pictures, that happens far to much at occations like that in our home. I do however, love the picture of the boys...let the opening begin!!!

Distractions come easy on Christmas day. Its all part of the fun. Your kids are really patient or you are teaching them patients. Maybe something we should try around here. You have a beautiful family! They all look happy.
Enjoy the beginning of this new year!
Have a great day!
