The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
The boys woke up and were so excited it was Christmas!
They immediately got to work opening up their stockings. Cars 2 characters were a hit this year!
And there was much rejoicing (name that movie).
This is the boys reaction as they walked in to see all their Christmas presents. Ethan was amazed.
And then the realization and excitement struck.
Jane got to come over to watch the kids open presents.
Charlotte was busy eating so she let me open her presents.
Then we enjoyed some fabulous Monkey bread and scrambled eggs, all before church. I love Christmas Church! Jane got to come with us and enjoy our amazing Ward choir. Such a fabulous meeting!
That night, we took everyone to the Oakland Temple and enjoyed the lights.
It was a beautiful, clear night, but it was freezing!
It was a little late for the boys, but they survived!
I forgot to bring my tripod for the low-lighting, although with my busy boys I'm not sure that it would have made a difference!
Jami brought Maddie and Timmy to meet us there.
I couldn't believe the kids were able to stay still this long! It was pretty cold that night!
Here's our family picture! Charlotte is sporting her Christmas jammies, and you can just barely see her eyes in the photo.
What an excellent way to end a day celebrating our Savior's birth!
