We started our Christmas morning, for the second year in a row, lighting our Advent wreath and reading out of Luke the Christmas story. This was all before they were to go downstairs and look at what Santa had brought. They were so patient again this year and I really love starting off the morning this way.
Mike's mom got Mike a table air hockey game. This was a favorite that morning.
All of the girls asked for Snuggies this Christmas and Santa delivered. I will say, I am NOT a fan of infomercials, but they are cozy little things.
The following are the letters written to Santa and left for him to discover. This is another one of my favorite things. I love to see what they each write to Santa and how it has changed over the years.
Morgan recieved a Razor scooter from Santa and rode it around the house all morning.
Getting into her presents from Grandma Nugent.
My brother, Chris hosted dinner on Christmas day this year. Here is my dad with the youngest Grand babies, Rachel and Drew.
Papa Kelbert with Nicole, Morgan and Jacob.
Some of my pictures are a little rough this year. I received a new camera from Mike and I am learning all of my settings.
This was the girls present from Mike's brother Brian, Uncle Brian. He had given each girl a different key. Each key has a tag labeled with the girls' names and says the following, "You have in your hands one of nine unique keys, each more than one hundred years old. This represents the key to your imagination. With it you can unlock your dreams and be anything you want to be. Please bring this key to every Nugent and /or Tepper family reunion as it will always connect you with any one of your six cousins. With love, Uncle Brian." I thought this was great.
Morgan inspecting the evidence that Santa had come.
Morgan is a silly girl. This year she is all about jokes and making us laugh. Before Christmas day she was telling me how it would be nice if Santa played a joke on her. So, she received a lump of coal in her stocking. Yes it was chocolate.
This is what our house looked like after opening gifts.
Rachel recieved her Whoopsie Do Doll. This is a doll when fed water/juice by bottle, it pees and poops. WHOOOO. How exciting.
Our tree this year. Lots of homemade ornaments. I try to get away with not bringing them all out. But my girls remember everything.
