Merry Christmas!

This year we had a quiet Christmas with just our little family, and I loved it.  There was no stress, no entertaining, just fun and relaxation.  Tim was on call Christmas Eve and then in the morning, so we had to wait for him to get home before we got to open presents.  I gave Carter strict instructions not to come downstairs when he woke up.  He got up at 6:00 and I told him to go back to bed.  Well, apparently he went downstairs instead... And decided to open up the stockings for everyone.  He said he was making sure no one had rocks in their stockings!  We had told him Santa would leave coal in the stockings if we were bad, and he didn't understand what coal was, so we just said it was like rocks.  Yeah, so he was very happy to see that nobody got rocks!
After Tim finally got home in the morning, we opened presents for while, had an amazing brunch of overnight French Toast, and then opened some more presents.  The rest of the day was spent sleeping, and playing with presents.  We made a simple ham dinner and just enjoyed being together.  
We hope you all had an amazing day, and thank you for all the gifts!  We are truly blessed by our amazing family!
