Whoa. Christmas Day. (And only a month late!) Christmas Day with small children is more of a whirlwind of wonderful chaos than anything else. The kids let us sleep until about 6:30 (pretty good, considering we'd be up before 5 when I was a kid!). Everyone enjoyed seeing what Santa had brought them (Santa doesn't typically wrap his gift to the kids) and then we all loved opening the gifts that we'd gotten for one another!
By the end of the morning, everyone felt like Kari's face in the picture below :-). Here are a few of the other pictures of Christmas morning:

| Juliana showing off her new dress and boots |
 |
| Now sporting her new headband, dress up shoes, Rapunzel doll, and soccer ball. |
 |
| The big girls in their new dresses, working on their new Lego sets |
 |
| Christian, working on his new Legos |
 |
| We may have over done it with the ornaments this year... |
Here are a couple of my favorite pictures...Santa brought Kari this wall-based Polly Pocket world. At first, she wasn't quite sure what to think of it. Luckily, big sister Emily came to the rescue and knew exactly what to do and the girls had so much fun playing with it throughout the day.
Later, after naps, we hosted Christmas Day pizza dinner with the rest of the family and even more present unwrapping ensued. It was a wonderful Christmas and we were so fortunate to have been able to spend it together, all healthy, and with love.
