Christmas Day

We were up at about 6:45 to get ready for Christmas morning. 

We were very surprised to not hear a peep from downstairs until about 8:20. 

Grandma and Papa Nelson got here at 8:30. 

Daddy telling them that Santa didn't make it this year. 

He also told them to line up youngest to oldest. 

She was already screaming and she hadn't even seen anything yet. 

Presley and Mom got tickets for the Broadway Show, "Dear Evan Hansen" in Seattle in February. 

Santa brought Logan a flying lesson scheduled for New Year's Eve

Ry likes Bob Ross. 

Santa brought him a basketball defender, a new basketball, and new Adidas basketball shoes. 

Harper and Ry got these magic balls.

These were big hits. 

We had a nice breakfast with Grandma and Papa. 

I had made a sausage casserole the night before and it cooked for an hour while we opened gifts. 

We weren't in any hurry since we didn't go to the Sri-Cities this morning. 

We talked and ate and cleaned up. 

Grandma and Papa left about 11:30. 

Harper and Ry each got some Legos they worked on. 

Presley and I snuck into our bed and watched a Hallmark movie.  

Apparently, we didn't see the entire movie. 

Santa brought Harper a new bike.

It looked so big under the tree, but she fit on it just fine. 

I watched her take it for a ride down our street.  

It was sunny, but it was cold outside. 

The neighbors were out with their new hover boards. 

Amy texted me a morning Merry Christmas picture from the Lindholm's. 

And Miryn's Christmas morning was awesome too.

We napped, did laundry, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, cleaned up boxes, and then watched Christmas Chronicles in the evening.
