Christmas Morning...

I am posting Chiristmas morning pictures before Christmas eve pictures...just because! We woke up early on Christmas day and headed over to my parents house still in our Pj's...Everyone takes turns opening gifts...youngest to oldest...it takes a long time but so worth it to watch everyone open their gifts...
James was just happy to chew on the box of his new dump-truck...just for the record this a noisy toy and he loves it...

Elsie went on and on about 2 things she wanted for Christmas, one was a port-a-potty (not happening!) and the other was a big sister (umm...Target doesn't carry those!)...she finally settled on wanting a Barbie Pool...and Grammie and Papa Wayne found her one! She was a very happy girl...

The broom...Ana and Brandon got my mom a broom...you might think it is a strange gift...but there is a little story behind it! You see we have a heirloom broom that we have used since before I was even born. It was my great-grandmother's broom...a lovely golden colour...with short bristles that never seem to fall out...because we really use that broom on a daily basis it has become a family joke...and I truly hope that just because there is a shiny new broom the old one never gets thrown out!

Emma got her beloved pink guitar...and little Oliver loved it...not sure if he thought he was his daddy playing in a band, he loves to make music or he just loves the colour pink...but he sure does look cute...and I love that he even keeps the ear piece in!

The kids had to try out the barbie pool...since getting this pool we have had our fair share of floods at our house! Gotta love toys...I have a feeling that most of them were designed by people with no children!

What a Fun Christmas Morning...
