Christmas Day

Christmas Day 2008

Christmas Day is always an eventful day.

The boys came in bright and early and woke us up.

Then, of course, we all had to go in and wake Coleson up. (He wasn't too happy about that)

This year was such a fun one because Bridon and Danner went out and bought presents for their brothers with their own money. And then they hid away in different rooms wrapping them themselves. It was fun to see how excited they were to watch their brothers open the presents that they picked out just for them.

We then all hop in the car and go to Tommy's parents house for more present opening and our traditional apple fritters, bacon, sausages and Mickey Mouse waffles.

Then off to Grandma Deen's house. Below is our traditional Christmas picture with Grandma Deen in front of her Christmas Tree. We do it every year. (I am not sure what happened to Danner's face in this one.)

We then head back home to play with all of our fun toys and take naps.

And finally, we end up at my parents house for the Traditional Christmas Pudding.

My kiddos aren't so much into it yet, but it is a tradition I cannot miss for anything.

I am grateful for a season that brings families together in such a special time of tradition, giving and love. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
