We were excited to wake up early on Christmas morning to see the looks on the kids faces. Amita and Ansel were up shortly after I started the coffee maker, so we didn't have to wait long.
Before we opened any gifts, we read the Christmas story from the Bible that we'd been piecing together every day in our Advent calendar.
Ansel was very interested.
Then we opened our stockings to see what Santa left.
Sunglasses are awesome! Even if you can't see out of them!
And it's monkey see, monkey do around here.
Santa brought M&M's. The kids were VERY happy!
Then the gift opening began. We had to take a short break for Amita to put on her police officer costume before we could continue.
And in monkey do fashion, Ansel also needed his firefighter costume on.
After the gifts from grandparents and parents, it was time for the Santa gifts. He brought Ansel exactly what he asked for... pretzels!!
They were delicious!
He also remembered a trumpet for Amita. She was beyond thrilled!
M&M's make a great breakfast on a special holiday like Christmas!
So does coffee cake. I took a stab at making Nisu inspired cake. It passed inspection!
A few days after Christmas, we made our way north to visit Nana and Papa.
The kids had fun giving and receiving presents.
They loved "helping" everyone open their gifts.
All that celebrating really wears a girl out!
