Christmas Day

Santa did come! Blake had woke up early, came down and stayed in the kitchen with Aunt Sissy and I, while we gave Daddy and Taylor a bit more time to sleep in.  Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, so we woke them up. 

 

The only bummer about Christmas is that Buddy, our Elf, is gone for the year. It actually makes me and the kids pretty sad. They enjoy him all month, and then it's over...this year Buddy left exactly what Taylor had been asking for- her very own plush elf! There was even a special little note along with it...

 

We decided not to make a huge Christmas dinner, we did a morning breakfast bake, then snacked on sweets and leftovers from the night before. Aunt Susie came over for a gift exchange and to join us for a ham sandwich lunch. It felt so good to stay in our comfy clothes, just hanging out and playing with the new goodies.
