Our Christmas morning began at 7AM. With the sounds of jingle bells, Skyler shot out of bed and greeted the entire family with a big smile and that loaded question, "Did Santa come?" After receiving our morning kisses from the Princess, she quickly went to her advent calendar and placed the final day, #25, Baby Jesus in his reserved spot. Then we sang, "Happy Birthday, Jesus" before opening gifts.
Unwrapping of the gifts....
Skyler received a much desired blue dress from Auntie Cheryl. It's actually Ariel pajamas! Ever since Daddy took her to see Disney's movie, Frozen, our giddy gal has wanted to wear something similar to the movie's star, Elsa, Princess of Arendelle.
We could not stop laughing over her excitement...
Before opening any other gifts, a quick ward robe change was in the works!
Stylin'!
The family enjoyed opening gifts from Skyler and other loved ones....
A sweet gift from my employee, Rob....
Gifts from Auntie Kevie & Uncle Dog....
Gammey's special gift from Skyler....
A Pandora Granddaughter charm....
Santa agreed that Mummy and Daddy were on the Good List, too....
Beautifully wrapped gifts from my Hubby....
The Princess enjoyed opening her gifts from Santa, Auntie Nic & Uncle Bogie, Auntie Chez & Uncle Charles, Cousin Nikki, Austin & Baby Mason, Cousin Jodi & Dustin and Auntie Kevie & Uncle Dog.
After the last gift was unwrapped, it was PLAY time. I've never seen so many My Little Pony figurines! Auntie Nic played all day with Sky.
I've never seen my home so busy....
Gammey and Auntie Chez helped Tom prepare a wonderful Christmas dinner.
Besides a buffet full of fresh vegetables, the Turduken was the highlight of the menu. This savory dish consists of a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, which in turn is stuffed into a deboned turkey. Sausage complimented each layer as well! It was absolutely amazing!
A proper English trifle for dessert....
After our lovely feast, we played more with Skyler's new toys and Laney even got in on the action.
It was a big day packed with so much laughter and tons of playing. By the end of the evening our sweet Angel had passed out, again!
After Skyler went to bed, the family enjoyed the warm weather outside and played some games over a few cocktails. It was a Christmas never to be forgotten. Full of magic and overflowing in love! I hope each and everyone of you had a very blessed Christmas with your family and friends.
Not forgetting another holiday tradition is this year's Christmas ornament from Gammey. A sweet picture of the two buddies captured in a blown glass ball.
