Christmas 2011 Part 4 {Christmas Morning}


Over the past couple of years we have struggled with our own family Christmas tradition.  Between wanting to wait until Christopher comes home from his mom's, the divorce of my own parents and life in general we haven't really established any tradition of our own.  We decided this year was a good year to start!

The boys slept until almost 7:30.  Then we got up and opened gifts(we opted not to make Logan wait on Christopher).  Grandma Lori came to watch the fun and Aunt Kate was there too since she stayed the weekend with us.  In addition to gifts, I decided to start buying the boys each an ornament every year.  I have to admit, aside from Gavin's stocking we really didn't buy him much.  We did the same thing for Logan the first year.  Honestly, my boys are so spoiled at the other 8 Christmas get togethers that they open gifts at, that it's difficult to find things to buy them!

We fixed breakfast, complete with yummy homemade(ok, so maybe not!) by Wal-Mart cinnnamon rolls bacon and eggs.

So, my house looks like Christmas has just puked all over it...toys, wrapping paper, stocking stuffers and half put away decorations litter the floor.  I'm feeling a little bit guilty that I get to go to work tomorrow and Steve will be left with the chaos!

We had a great Christmas morning, hope you did too!
