Christmas morning was so GREAT! It was so exciting to see Lily get so excited over EVERYTHING! First of all she noticed that Santa ate his cookies and the Reindeer ate "nibbled" their carrots! Then she got very excited about all the gifts. Most importantly, she knew we were celebrating the baby Jesus' birthday! We spent a few minutes looking at the gifts that Santa brought before we Skyped with Grandparents. First up we Skyped with Grandma and Grandpa Warner as we opened the gifts from them! They sent the kids the most adorable outfits! (I had a friend take some pictures of the kids in their outfits I will post when I get them from her!) We then Skyped with the whole Gray clan! It was so much fun to be able to let the grandparents see the kids open their gifts and to see them open ours! I sure do LOVE technology! After we were done with Skyping, we finished with our gifts and then got ready for Church and our breakfast tradition. We have taken the tradition from the Gray family to do Crepes and Omelets for Christmas breakfast. Part of the tradition is to invite friends to share in the deliciousness! Since Church was at 11, we had everyone come over at 9 and we all visited until we all headed to Church, which was AMAZING! I always love the Christmas Music program!
Logan got all things boy! TJ was so excited to finally be able to buy TONKA trucks! He sure did enjoy his gifts! and the paper!!

Another family tradition we have is "THE BIG BOX." The big box is a gift that comes early from Santa. It shows up any time before Christmas with a tag stating it is from Santa. No one knows who the big box is for until Christmas morning. There is a lot of excitement building around the gift and who it is for. Well this year the big box was for Lily AND Logan! They got a wagon! I cant wait to take them for lots of rides in it!
Lily got all things Girl! She scored in the Dress Up department! She changes outfits all day long!
This year we got some art work for our bare walls! We have been wanting some big pictures for our walls and so we FINALLY got some! We are SO excited to have these hanging in our home!
Rocking out with her new guitar from her brother Logan! She was our breakfast entertainment!

After Church, we came home and had Nap time!!!!!!! After nap time the kids enjoyed playing as I got Dinner ready! We had the Torres family over to celebrate with us! We had a delicious meal of Ham balls and Hot Chicken salad!

They are so much fun to watch play together! They both laugh and smile the whole time!

Christmas was Wonderful! It was spent with great friends and enjoying our little family! We are so very grateful for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ! It is through him that we are able to be an Eternal family! I pray that my children always look to Christ for direction in all things. What a gift we have been given! Santa is nice and fun, but the real true reason WE celebrate Christmas is because of our Savior Jesus Christ! For the true meaning of Christmas is Christ! May we never lose sight of that fact!
