Christmas Day...Finally!

Nothing better/nasty then the Christmas Morning picture. It was the worst as a kid and it's still bad as an adult. But it is kind of a right of passage to Christmas morning....
This year we split Christmas in 2 parts....Santa came to the Eds House and then all the rest of the gifts were at Grandmas.
The race into the family room....
SANTA ACTUALLY CAME!!!
And brought just what he wanted....Jengo Fett Legos!

Aunt Nikki was a good girl this year too...
The destruction after the presents....
Kate was in heaven with her new baby princess's!


A new lego box to hold all his Gear!

Great Grandma Ski and Sammie Lou...



Carter spent HOURS that day playing with his new legos!

Santa brought Team Ed a new tramp too....
My kids also learned a great lesson on Christmas morning. As we were getting ready to load up and head to grandmas to finish opening the rest of the presents, Brad noticed his 80 year old neighbors getting ready to climb on their roof. They thought that at 8 am on Christmas morning it would be a good idea to clean their gutters. Brad being the incredible neighbor that he is could not let that happen. So off when the boys in the sweet matching PJ's to clean gutters Christmas morning in the freezing cold.
About an hour later we were ready to go to grandma's for more Christmas fun. It was a great lesson in patients and service for the kids!
At last GRANDMA'S HOUSE!
Melly and Porter were smart and pre-labeled their seats for Christmas morning!
Kids on WILD!

Once the presents started I didn't take any more pictures...
Great Grandma & Grandpa Taylor came over that afternoon for dinner & fun! It was a WONDERFUL Christmas full of fun, family, & too much food! Thank you mom for all the planning and organizing....You're the best!
Carter is already asking how many days until next Christmas!
