Christmas Morning 2011

Santa came!!

We had a relaxed Christmas Day in Knoxville this year. We planned on traveling north on the 26th so we had all day to play, eat, play again, and eat some more!
Grace was all about Santa this year and we knew Christmas morning would be SOOO fun!!  Matt and I got up before the girls woke up so we could get all the lights on, music playing, and maybe get a jump start on the caffeine pump.  I was making coffee when I turned around and saw Grace make a beeline to her dancing baby!  She snuck downstairs without Matt or I even hearing her.  DANG.....she's good!  She went from toy to toy with a look of pure awe on her face!  We waited for what seemed like forever until finally Anna woke up.  All we heard from her was, "Whoa!" and "Ohhhh my!"  Out of all the loot in front of her, can you guess what she ran to first??  Pete's new dog bowls!!  WHAT!!  Good thing I stressed over what her "big" gift would be this year!  WAHAHA!!  She fed off of Grace's excitement and was so cute to watch!

She got her dancing baby!!

Waiting on AK to wake up!

Grace had all her presents (and part of mine and Anna's) opened within about ten minutes.  WAHAHA!!  There was no waiting around on her to finish that this year!  The girl was on a mission to get those suckers opened as quickly as possible.


We had our traditional breakfast casserole, played all day, had a nice lunch, got packed up and ready for our road trip the next day.  It's so much fun seeing the excitement in those little eyes as they experience all the magic that Christmas has to offer!  This is such a sweet time and I'm glad we got to soak up the day and enjoy all those little moments!!  






LOVES her new trike!
