Here are some of our favorite photos from Christmas morning.

The kids were up early this year — at least earlier than Daddy and I wanted to get up — so they had to do the waiting game while we got going. Finally, it was time to look through their stockings.

They get to open all the presents in their stocking at the same time.

Then, we sort out the presents under the tree and open them one by one, taking turns from the youngest to the oldest.

Carter was so excited for Daddy to open the drone that he picked out.

After the presents under the main tree were opened the playing began while Daddy and I made breakfast.

At some point, Carter happened to wander into the library and realized that there were more presents under that tree (just like last year).

They were so excited to get scooters. They rode around the circle for hours in their jammies.

As soon as Daddy got his drone charged, he brought it outside for a test flight.

Raine spread out her new art supplies on the driveway and went to work making posters for her girls only spy club.

We had a great Christmas, very low-key and relaxing. In fact, we had so much food left over from the night before that we didn’t even bother to cook our Christmas ham until today! We also made our favorite breakfast treat today, monkey bread!

And finally, here is our Christmas family photo.
