Our Christmas was the best ever. The kids just loved every single minute of it which made Dan and I the happiest parents in the world. I know that we only have a few precious years where it is all magical to both kids so I just soaked up every single moment.
I woke up super early on Christmas morning (incapable of sleeping in I tell you!) and went downstairs to get a head start on the Monkey Bread (which is our traditional Christmas morning breakfast). We were expecting some of the grandparents to come over to watch the kids open presents so I ended up having to wake the kids (and Dan) up at 6:30. Brynn woke up Aunt Patty and Uncle Ross and Grammie & Grampie and Mommom & Pops arrived shortly after.

It was really fun to see how big the kids' eyes got when they came down the stairs in the morning. Brynn was desperately hoping that Santa would bring her a Rapunzel Tower and Bullseye (the horse from Toy Story). Santa delivered those and Brynn was thrilled that she also got a ring that she wanted but had forgotten to tell Santa about. Brynn opened all of her gifts as fast as she could (mama's girl). Colton on the other hand was mostly excited to see all of the people that were in the living room when he woke up. The first thing that he saw (after the people) was a race car ramp which he loved. After that he was totally over opening presents and wanted to hang out with family instead.

After we finished opening the mountain of gifts and ate some breakfast it was time to head to my Dad's house for more presents. We are so spoiled:-) Dad and my Stepmom made us another huge breakfast (yay scrapple!) before it was time to open more gifts.

We spent a few hours at my Dad's and then it was time to head back home to get dinner started. Dan's parents and my Mom & Stepdad all came over for dinner. We ate lots of yummy food (my first ham turned out pretty darn good) and then we just watched the kids play with their new toys (and Colton finally finished opening up his presents!). We also got in a little FaceTime action with the Willman crew.

All in all it was a wonderful Christmas. We all ended up feeling a little spoiled and very grateful for all of the blessings in our lives.
