Christmas Day!

I just hate how fast it comes and goes!  I wish it wouldn’t seem that way.  I think I will plan a bit better and try and be done with gifts much sooner next year so I can relax a bit more with my kids.  It just sneaks up on me every year, and I think because we had Thanksgiving at our house, we were just looking towards that point and not beyond.  So here’s hoping next year will seem a little more relaxed!  It was still such a wonderful Christmas this year!

  I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch my kids on Christmas morning.  It ranks so high up there on my favorite memories ever.  Their excitement is so magical and I just love it!  I woke up at 6 and couldn’t go back to sleep because I was so excited to watch them! Bailey’s early morning smile. Ah, that’s better. It was funny…Bailey sat on the couch the whole time the boys opened their presents, not even realizing that she had anymore.  I love that she was perfectly content with her Jessie doll and Jessie Pez.  From our sweet boys: I wasn’t going to make my kids anything, but I’m so happy I did.  Bailey loved her bassinet that I made using this tutorial, and the boys loved their sweats that I added the wrestling graphic on using freezer paper. This is the FIRST Christmas where we didn’t go anywhere all day!  Dillon’s parents visited for a bit in the morning after we were able to just spend some time alone for a while, then the rest of the day we just hung out in our pajamas, read books, and played with all the new toys we got!  It was such a wonderful day…I think staying home is a new tradition of ours now:).  We love you all and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!
