Christmas morning

So excited about Christmas morning this year. Amelia finally was able to start to grasp the concept of celebrating Jesus' birthday and Santa coming.  It was so much fun just seeing her excitement and joy that morning.  Luke wasn't really into the opening presents thing- he just wanted to cruise around the coffee table and play.

Luke may seem interested, but it's only a brief moment . . .

and he's done; this is him trying to turn around so he can stand up

Amelia's gift to her Daddy-a picture of them in a frame that says "Dad's Little One".  Dan calls Amelia "little one"  :)

Doesn't he look surprised?!

No pictures of Mommy opening presents- Mommy's big gift was sitting at home.  No, it wasn't forgotten.  Mommy has always wanted a bigger aquarium so Daddy has been working for several months to get all the parts and necessary items for a new to us 30 gallon aquarium.  It's up and running- just waiting for the water to adjust so we can add fish.  Oh and we still need to get some decorations- Mommy's got her eye on a sunken pirate ship.  Amelia just wants the bright pink princess castle. Mommy did have some small gifts under the tree too.

 Just realized we didn't get any pictures of the kids with us that morning . . . oh well.  We had such a fun day celebrating Jesus birthday and spending time with the people we love.
