A Christmas morning brunch- with lots of excitement over the toys from Santa! Tradition is to go to my sister Wendy's home for a holiday brunch on Christmas morning to see what Santa has brought. I'm sure it will move to our home eventually, but it sure is fun to see the excitement in their eyes. Here Will does his best rockstar pose with his new guitar.
Lots of fun was had building that marble tower!
The Smith's arrived in Santa hats and pj's!
Our little elf joins the Santa hat parade!
And later on.....Christmas Day dinner at the Ward household- lots of kids and lots of fun! Here Hannah poses as a Christmas tree as we decorate her with balloon ornaments.
The master chef for the day- Grandpa Ward created quite a feast as usual!
I think she's showing off her red hair in this photo. It will be fun to see if she keeps it this color!
Excitement builds as we approach the gift opening!
Leah and Grandpa model their new vests- they look like opposites here- or candy canes, as Leah put it!
The Nuspl family gifted Caroline with a handpainted rocker. Beautiful! They all helped with the painting process. Won't that be a treasure she'll grow in to! Love it!
The festivities continued on the 26th with Rick's family coming to our home. Here Haley and Brady sort out the gifts for our exchange.
Look how nice that new sofa holds people!!
Caroline offers some big smiles for Grandpa Smith!
This is one of my favorite pics of the holiday- just a natural smile from our happy girl!
And here she is- Santa's little helper. So excited about the holiday she's jumping out of her hat! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We sure did!
