Christmas Morning

The boys were the first up today - heading downstairs around 6:45. After about 10 minutes, we figured we better head down and make sure they weren't getting into presents or stockings. Obviously we had a great time celebrating at Grandma & Grandpa's last night because rather than finding them in the living room in front of our Christmas tree - they were in the family room playing with their Christmas Eve toys. They had completely forgotten there were new gifts under OUR tree!

Everyone was up by 7:15 and ready to check out their stockings. There is certainly something magical about opening your gifts while watching the snow falling outside. What a blessing to have a white Christmas! After a leisurely morning of enjoying our new goodies, eating waffles and watching The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, it was time to pack up for our Finnestad Family Christmas.

A 5X5 RUBIKS CUBE?!?!? OH MY DEAR LORD!!! That's insane...but of anyone, Jimmy's the one to figure it out!

You're gonna have to keep a close watch on that Little Mermaid Bubble Book, Juliana just might heist that one... (however you spell that..."STEAL IT!")

That is a GREAT picture of Jonathan in his bouncer thingy, SO CUTE!!!

And lastly, how wonderful is it to see your five children in front of the tree with their nifty stockings?!? I love it!!!
