Christmas Morning

As is tradition, we stayed at my parents' house on Christmas Eve. We all woke up and had a wonderful Christmas morning. Nakiah still doesn't really get whats going on. She gets excited to see all the gifts, but once she has opened one and has a new toy to play with, she forgets about the others. I guess I should be thankful that she appreciates all her presents and isn't ripping through everything without saying thank you........yet.

-Here she is enjoying her coloring book from Dani and Boog-

-Testing out her new pony toy/game from Auda and Auma- -Michael, already in love with his new club-

-Auda, being secretive as always-

-Opening the VERY beautiful *handmade* picture frame from Danielle, complete with a family photo from the Lights of Christmas-

-After math of Michael's gift-

-The reveal-

-Poor Danielle had to open 7 boxes wrapped one inside the other before she got to the goods!-

-Corey admiring his Fathead from Michael and Danielle, now I get to admire it on my living room wall.....EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!-

-Tearing in-

-What could it be?-

-Michael wanted to make sure that he was going to have gifts to open on Christmas morning, so I wrapped the gloves that Corey and I gave him in two separate boxes, the receipt was in a thrid box :)-

-Taking a break to enjoy Elmo-

-Auda playing with his new toy-

-Cuddling with mommy, one of the extremely rare pictures that prove I do exist-

-Opening his "receipt box"-

-More presents-

-The traditional socks and underware filled stockings-

-A Duck and a Husky-

-Her favorite toy of the morning....that Santa threw in the stocking at the last minute because he saw it on the way back to the diapers during a pit stop on Christmas Eve-

We had a FABULOUS Christmas morning and were so glad to have Danielle with us this year! Thanks Santa for making Christmas 2008 the best yet.
