Christmas Day

Jeff and I decided only to do stockings this year since we've put so much money into the house.  So we started the morning with our stockings that included lots of socks, coloring books, candy, alarm clock, etc.  No big items to open, but fun nonetheless. 

After that we headed over to Sarah's house to see what Santa brought Emily.  She got lots of stuff including Playdough, Shopkins, dolls, and new clothes and shoes.  

Once we finished there, we went to my parents house for lunch-- YUMMY salads and ham and turkey biscuits courtesy of Stella, Bella, and Lucy's.  After a delicious lunch we opened our presents and practiced using Mom's new camera. :)  

Finally, we headed over the mountain for another meal and presents with Jeff's parents.  It was a full day, but we made sure that we didn't feel rushed or pressured to move quickly from one event to the next.  I couldn't have asked for a better day!
