Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful Christmas we had! I caught myself many times throughout the day taking a step back and just soaking it all in. I am so thankful for my THREE (yes, three!) beautiful children, my incredible husband, who is in every sense the love of my life, and my loving family and friends. Everything that life throws at us we are still just so blessed and I thank God everyday for all that He has given us. I am just overwhelmed with the love and support from everyone and we are so grateful!

Our morning started at 7:15. Pretty great I thought. Everyone slept in till then including little Elizabeth. What a wonderful Christmas present from her. She only got up two times that night. (Although she has made up for it every night since then.) Andrew was so excited and the best quote of the day was, "Santa is my best friend". :) Everything he opened he would exclaim how that is just what he wanted even if it wasn't anything he even thought of. Ella was just tickled with the ripping of the wrapping paper and quickly got the hang of opening presents. The kids were more than happy to assist Elizabeth with her presents and would squeal for her at each gift they opened. The day was pretty busy taking things out of their boxes, placing stickers on toys and putting things together. My fingertips literally are sore for untwisting those stupid wires from the back of boxes. We had a nice ham dinner and I don't think the kids made it into bed until somewhere around 10 o'clock! They were still wired from their day and Mommy and Daddy were exhausted!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Here are some pictures from our day! We love you all!
