Christmas Day

After getting everyone to bed and "getting Christmas taken care of-wink, wink" Jeff and I went to bed around midnight. At 2:30 am, Annicha came in our room and told us that Santa had been there (I had left all the Christmas lights on so the downstairs was pretty lit up). She finally agreed to bring all her blankets in and sleep on our floor. Finally, we let everyone up about 6:30...here they are sitting on the stairs waiting for the "go".
I don't know how things work at your house, but at our house everyone has to come down together. They open stockings first and then we takes turns being an elf and delivering packages to people. When everyone has one we take turns opening so we can all see what everyone else gets.



Here is Christmas!


Jeff's parents and my parents came over for breakfast about 9. Here is Grandma Johnson and Maren making Juice...
