Christmas Day 2011

With Christmas falling on a Sunday this year, we had to wake up extra early to be able to open gifts and make our traditional family breakfast. Hopefully next year will be a little less hectic in the morning. The day started with Brandon and I waking up at 5:45am to start the coffee and get the fire going. Shortly after we went up stairs to wake the kids. They were so excited to run down stairs to see if Santa had gotten them what they had asked him for, and to thier surprise he did! After opening the gifts, I got the kids ready for church and Brandon made our breakfast croissants.

The kids were in the children's program at church, so we had to be there early to get them ready to sing. When church was over we rushed home and while everyone took a nap I started the turkey for Christmas dinner. Around 5pm my parents, brother, his girlfriend and my grandma came over. We had our gift exchange then grubbed on some yummy food. I'd have to say it was a great day over all.. Happy Birthday Jesus!!
