Christmas Morning


Christmas morning at our house was a hit! This was the first year that Andrew really "got" the Santa thing and we had fun too! Nate and I woke up before both Drew and  Harper (since they went to bed pretty late the night before).  When Andrew came downstairs he said "Santa ate the cookies!!!" and was super excited about that. He helped Harper open her gifts too and we had a fun morning as a family, eating breakfast and opening presents. 


Later that morning, we packed up and headed to Ohio. We had planned to do this the day after Christmas but a snowstorm was coming on the 26th so we drove on Christmas Day. It ended up working out perfectly since there was no traffic at all and we made it there in record time.
 The above picture is nothing short of a Christmas miracle that occurred during the drive north:)
 When we got there that evening, Harper begged me to dress her up like a reindeer so I happily obliged!
 Bentley got in the Christmas spirit as well and wanted to wear a Santa beard:)
 Andrew went to work opening the gifts from Omi, Opaq, Diddy, Kelsy & Joe, and a few from Santa!

 The gift opening continued the next morning as well
 About 10 inches of snow had fallen by the 26th so we all buckled down at the house and hung out! No complaints here...it was nice to just relax!

Can you tell he thinks he's a real construction worker in this getup? Thanks Omi and Opaw!
Uncle  Joe even gave Andrew a real Union sticker to put on his hard-hat...he was pretty happy about it!
