Christmas Photos!

It has been a lovely holiday around here this year, and I hate to see it coming to an end.  So, don't rush me!  I have a few more days left!  Meanwhile, I will post the much-anticipated Christmas photos (much-anticipated by my two blog readers, that is!).  The excitement was awesome, the food was scrumptious, and the mess was epic.  In other words, it wasn't the least bit disappointing!  Enjoy these photos of our magical day.

Coming up the stairs on Christmas morning.

We ask them to come up the stairs in order, youngest to oldest.  But, we make them wait until we have the camera and the video camera totally ready to go.  The bigger boys in the back hated every minute of that!  Haha!

The stockings were first!

Mining the stockings.  Sorry these photos are poor and from such a distance.  Nate was still charging the camera battery and the kids couldn't wait another second to start digging in!

Chase got some belts in his stocking.

And Coco got a pretty scarf.

And Avery got a slinky!

Trey found these Elmo toys from Santa.  We thought he might be reticent about them, because they are kind of noisy toys.  But he loves them!

Next, we enjoyed these yummy homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Yum!

Here's Daddy pretending to be surprised that I'm taking his picture, when he knows very well that he is my favorite subject! :)

Courtney is so adorable with excitement that Santa brought her exactly what she wanted!

Chase and Avery checking out the new computer game Santa brought.

Trey is learning the joy of tearing off wrapping paper!

Just look at that pile of gifts!

Trey thinks that the electronic pen that came with the Intelliglobe is a cell phone, because you push buttons and it talks to you.  Haha!

One of my favorite pictures.  Daddy and the boys are playing Chase's new board game.

And this one just cracks me up.  How do you like Coco as a blond?  She is wearing her Rapunzel wig while working on the computer.  Haha!
