The days of getting up at 4:30 to see what Santa brought appear to be over. But, there is a lot to be said for a nice, quiet Christmas morning. Reed, Caleb and I began Christmas morning with a nice breakfast with Mr. Jack and Mrs. Carolyn. We eventually made it down the stairs to discover that Santa had indeed come. I did tell Caleb that he would probably have left lots more, if he had remembered the cookies and milk! We waited for Josh, Lindsey and Maddie to arrive around 1:00 to open gifts. I must say that you certainly can see the joy and magic of Christmas through the eyes of our sweet Maddie. What did we do before we had her?
Getting ready to open presents while enjoying the fire!
Maddie had a ball opening her presents. She would open a few and then play. Needless to say, it took a little longer than usual to open everything. So much fun!!!
Look out hill-here we come! Check out the pink, sparkly Tom's shoes from her mom and dad. Perfect for a princess!
Uncle C had a great Christmas, too! Maddie helped him pass out gifts and then she helped us all open our gifts.

Reed opens his presents!

And last but not least, Kitty survived his first Christmas!!
After a wonderful time together, we headed up the hill to Grandmother and Papa's for more great memories. More on that next time. I am so thankful for such a great Christmas season. I feel truly blessed, and it has nothing to do with the presents! My only regret is that it goes by so fast!! I don't want to rush things too much, but I can't wait until next year when baby number 2 joins in the fun!!
