Christmas Morning 2011

Our Christmas morning started with Brett & I up at 7am thinking Emma Kate & Jackson would be up any minute or maybe already...fast forward 30 minutes later until they awoke, which found us laying back down in bed ha! The first thing they did was see all the gifts Santa had left (anything unrapped & sitting out is from Santa). Jackson's Big Wheel was a big hit! Next, were the stockings in the living room. Lastly for our little fam Christmas is opening up gifts from Mommy & Daddy. We decided to do 3 gifts per child like Jesus was given. (sidenote: EK has 4 wrapped boxes because Bitty Baby & her starter kit went together.) As you can tell our kids are very blessed & I felt that 3 gifts with a true meaning behind why 3 gifts are given is an important lesson for the true reason for Christmas. It's such a special time to see Christmas through the eyes of your children!
