Christmas Day

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there...
Good Morning!!!
{this little one slept until 9am...
probably the last year for that for a looooong time!}

Avery was a good girl this year!
She is learning to share & is excellent at using please & thank you!
She was definitely on Santa's Nice List!
Santa brought her....

kitty rain boots

LOTS of books!

{Thomas the Train, Finding Nemo Golden Book, "Slowly, Slowly, Slowly" said the Sloth by Eric Carle, and Freight Train by Donald Crews}

and her FAVORITE gift by far...

a Thomas the Train set!!!!

{which has been played with EVERY day since!}

Last we opened the stockings

poor Daddy only got coal in his stocking! :)

{Lump of Coal beer, coal chocolates, charcoal soap and black dress socks rolled into balls! ha ha, that Santa is so clever...or maybe it was Mrs. Claus!}

Later that day (once the icy roads had melted) we headed over to Grandma & Papa's house. They have a BIG family, so Christmas over there is crazy & fun!

look at that Christmas tree!!!

Avery & Ellie both got doll houses

and Noah got a Space Ship!

I hope you and your family also had a wonderful Christmas!

"Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!"
