CHRISTMAS MORNING was the BEST! !
I just loved these pics of the kids running down the stairs!
We had a lovely breakfast as a family before we went downstairs to open wrapped gifts.
Cam needs a break from all of this commotion!
Mom Mom and Dad Dad joined us as we opened presents via Skype!
Coursey and Mom rocking out to Rock Band
This air hockey table may be for the little ones, but the adults can sure have quite the battle, too!
It has been so much fun to have family here for Christmas this year. The kids have had undivided attention and always have someone to play their new games with. I was able to get all of the fuss of Christmas over so I could really enjoy the actual day. My biggest present has been my mom helping out so much around the house...she organized my entire kitchen! Merry Christmas!!!

And thanks to Julie's bargain hunting, black Friday craziness, and endless lists and plans, we were able to spoil the kids pretty well despite a much smaller budget this year! Way to go Jewls!
I gotta say, those are some great pictures Julie! The kids coming down the stairs are priceless!
And I think I need to borrow the unwrapped gift idea from Santa. Why hadn't I thought of that??
