We had a beautiful Christmas at home on the 26th. We'd stayed late having fun at Grandma and Papa Tallman's on Christmas day so Santa had to work into the early morning hours. I think I heard him head back up the chimney at about 1:45 a.m.
Shockingly the younger children didn't sleep in (wink) and Mike and I reminded ourselves what a privilege it is to be awakened by bare little feet on the hardwood floors pattering down the hallway.
The sweetest gift from my Mia.
We did stockings and then had breakfast.
But first, the kids tried to decode mom's gift labeling system.
Always a good time (for mom, at least).
Christy Miller books were high on Natalee's wants this year.
After gift opening there were new toys to play with, Legos to build, books to read, and fun to be had.
Mike smoked a delicious pork loin for our afternoon meal and we spent the day enjoying each others' company.
both boys had Lego sets with light kits to add to them
I am so thankful for time. What a gift.
