Christmas Day 2011

Finally I’m getting around to doing our Christmas post!!  I can hardly believe it has been a whole week since Christmas!!   

Our Christmas day was so wonderful.  We changed up Christmas day this year from the way we have been doing it the last 14 years and it worked out perfectly!!  We had all morning and afternoon at home to start our own family tradition.  We didn’t have to be at Chris’ Grandmothers until about 3.  I loved having all that time at home to be with our kids and not be rushed!658

Ryder got up first but he decided to wait until Maddox got up before he opened any gifts!

We had such a fun, blessed, full Christmas day but one of the most special parts of the day was hearing Maddox sing “Happy Birthday Jesus”!!  I’m so thankful for the real gift that we celebrate at Christmas…Our Savior!!!
