Christmas

I love Christmas morning!

The excitement, smiles and laughter.

At 6am we had two very excited

kids standing next to our bed. 

Before they run down the hall. 

 The must have photo in front of the tree.

 Coffee

 All smiles

 I love watching the kids open gifts.

The smiles, big eyes, the many faces and

at times jumping up and down

from pure surprise!

 His list was all Legos!!

 She loves shoes just like her Mamma!

 He was shocked when he opened this one!

I have an awesome poker face.  

 The aftermath!

Once all the gifts were open we had

our traditional breakfast quiche.

We stayed in PJs all day and the kids played

with their new toys.

  

Almost Christmas

It seems like Christmas takes forever to come,

but the month of December goes by in a flash.

We  made our annual gingerbread house

one night!

 It is always fun to watch everyone decorate their house because,

we all have very different styles.

 

On Christmas Eve we went to brunch

at our good friend's house.

 When we got home from brunch we had

a package at the door from Rudolph.

 Matching family pajamas!

 My little crazies!

 We baked cookies for Santa, watched Christmas movies, sprinkled

reindeer food and then it was time for bed!

We had a very jam packed day, but it was filled with fun!

The Elf and Choir

The Elf found us again this year in Germany and he

came with gifts and a friend.

 I know I will not get away doing this for long,

but it's just too cute not to!!!

 How cute is this one?

 She was in the Christmas Choir again 

this year. She had 6 or 7 choir performances

around the town. Some on base and others

at German Christmas Markets.

 She even had a solo at one of the performances

and it was in Spanish.

 She is growing up way to fast. 

It was a great start to the month of December. 

Christmas Day!

Christmas started bright and early

in our house.

The kids before the mad dash down the hall.

My 'must have' pictures in front of the tree.

The kids are really good sports at it by now.

 It was time to get the party started.

We start every year with our stockings.

 Mr. Man started with a gift from Santa!

 It was  AT-AT !

We had one happy little boy.

 We had the many faces of the Diva.

 Santa hit it out of the park with Uggs.

 Mr. PC got a 'Go big or go home'

shot glass holder.

Go big or go home is our family motto.

 Santa knows the way to my heart.

Shoes, yes please!!!!

 Aunt E & Uncle B got her some books that

she needed!

She was a happy little Diva.

 A gift from Daddy.

 

She was speechless, if only

for a few seconds! 



 My sweet boys!!!

More of the many faces of the Diva!

After the unwrapping was all done

it was time to play in the paper!

 

This little guy was in Lego heaven.

After he was done with his Arctic set he moved

on to AT-AT!

With a little help from Daddy

on the last two bags AT-AT

was done and we had a

very happy little boy.

With that it was time to call it a night!

Christmas 2014 was a great day!

We spent it together, our little family,

and I could not  have been happier!
