Christmas Day Pictures!!

First of all, here is the long awaited (especially by me! lol) family photo!! Yay!

This is a before picture with the boys waiting oh so patiently for everyone to get up and OPEN THE PRESENTS!! LOL! It’s a really cute picture of them I think:)

Over to the left of the photo you can see the new animated Santa and Mrs. Claus figures we got this year. I absolutely love them but for some reason, the kids keep unplugging them!! They say they creep them out??? Scrooges all I say!

This is the entryway from the front door into our Christmas room…isn’t it pretty?

Then everyone was up and the chaos ensued!

A little too excited I think! LOL!

Tickled pink…literally! LOL!

I love this picture of Alysia. We had her going wondering what was wrapped up especially since it was from "Jack Sparrow". She figured it was a bottle of beer but it turned out to be Beer Bread ingredients and she has to provide her own beer! Huh? What’s with that? LOL!

Obviously also tickled pink!

Tickled pink with my stuffed puppy that looks like Jasmine. It’s perfect because it sits kinda off kilter just like our real puppy because of a pin in her hip!

And kids always love to go through their Christmas stockings…

…no matter how old they are!

And finally here is the metal detector we got for the boys for our trips to the beach this summer! They have already tried it out and we are now the proud owners of a few more rusted nails and 13 cents! LOL!

Of course chores must still be done and here is Steven thrilled to be walking the dog before we could open presents! He is wearing the Scooby Doo pjs I made for him last Christmas.

And of course everyone has to be fed so here I am in the words of Alex "All she does is cook." Well, yeah, and I’m sure sick of it! LOL!

Note the glasses on the counter in front of me…can’t see the recipes without them anymore! *sigh*

Dennis doing the ‘dad-thing’ helping Louis with his Legos. Note the glasses on him, he can’t see anything without them either! LOL! *sigh*

I still have more pictures of how we spent the rest of the week but I’ll give you all a break for now! We had an awesome day and hope you all had as much fun as we did!!
