For the first time in the dozen years that Grant and I have been together, we woke up in our own house on Christmas morning. I don't mean because this is the first year we have owned a home, because reality is that we bought our first house in December of 2003. Every year we are at either our parents or on vacation, but this year we decided to mix it up. Everyone was in our living room by 7:30 on Christmas morning.
Bright and early before the sun had come up, crazy enough you can't see all of the gifts stuffed under the desk and these weren't all of them. Oh and that isn't a short tree, just gifts stacked high - this tree is over nine feet of glitter and sparkle.
After Adelaide woke up we kept her sequestered to her room and then in her high chair for a pre gift opening snack while everyone got situated. This is my favorite photo of her seeing all of the gifts for the first time.
Yes, we make everyone wear matching Christmas PJs and you may notice that I don't match anyone. That's because we couldn't find the last pair that I was sure I had bought. We will say that I had on a different PJ set because I was the only representing 1.5 people.
*Update-the PJs I was sure that I had purchased were found a month later behind the washing machine, they must have been on top and got pushed over.
Christmas morning was a huge success, these were just photos from the morning, more to come for the rest of the day.
