photos from Christmas

I realized today that I had never uploaded my Christmas photos to the blog! Here are some pictures of our family Christmas...

Growing up, we always took pictures of us all in our PJs before opening gifts. Here are the girls in the morning...we did our family's Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve morning.

Since Ken had to work late the night before, I got Brooke's breakfast ready. I decided to put red & green sprinkles on her waffle with peanut butter. Yum!
Mmmm...
Brooke was actually interested in opening gifts for a while, in the past she has had no interest. Of course, once she found something she wanted to play with, she was done!
Later that day, we went up to Littleton to my parents' house and celebrated with my mom's side of the family. Brooke got some great new toys including this tricycle from my grandparents:
And "Honey" the horse, a rocking horse that neighs and gallops, from my mom's three sisters. It was a huge hit with everyone except for the dogs, they were all scared of it!
Hailey had to have a turn...
We stayed over on Christmas Eve, and Christmas morning we had stockings, gifts, and our traditional Christmas Brunch with my immediate family. We missed my brother Jeff and sister-in-law Caroline who were with her family. Later that day my dad's parents came over for yet another celebration and, of course, more food! What a fun two days!

Thanks, everyone, for all of the gifts! We are so blessed to have such a close and loving family!
