Christmas Day

Christmas morning has always been interesting at our house. For the longest time Kevin and I had to wake the girls up but when Madison was about 8 or 9 she started waking up early and getting her sisters up. It was quite a change for Kevin and I. We finally set the rule that it had to be 7 before they woke us up. This year Allison and Ashley waited patiently for 7:00 before they woke us up. Madison has officially become a teenager. She had no desire to wake up this morning. When we finally got her out of bed she definitely did not want to cooperate and get a picture.

It took her awhile to get in the mood. I remember those years of when you just want to sleep in and Christmas morning is even hard to get up for. The girls loved opening presents and seeing what everyone got. Ashley's favorite was her American Girl doll. She has been asking for one of these for a few years. Santa finally brought her one. She was one happy girl.

She was also delightfully surprised to get a fun loom. I always love seeing her excitement.

Madison and Allison are both at that age where they get more cloths then toys. They didn't seem to mind and loved what they got.

We had a great day. The girls spent a lot of time playing with their gifts and just enjoying family time. We had a wonderful dinner and then enjoyed a movie. Christmas is a wonderful time of year to remember Our Saviors birth with our family.
