Christmas Day....What a Day!

Goodness gracious...our Christmas day was so packed with fun and excitement that it took me over an hour JUST uploading these photos. Wow! We started off our morning at home and it was so fun seeing what Santa brought for Madelyn & Connor. The magic of Christmas was really in our home this year. Here Maddy is opening up her new toy box and the first thing she noticed was the Elmo book set. Elmo is her favorite these days!
Digging deep into her stocking to find more surprises...
Look how excited Connor was about his stocking!
WOW, he's actually playing with the toys! Way to go Santa!!
I guess all that playing wore Connor out. Whew.
Thanks for the sweet ornament Madelyn!
After opening up all the gifts at home we drove over to my parents home in Worthington to celebrate Christmas with them. Here Madelyn is with the new play-food set from Natalie. What delicious strawberry ice cream!
Surprised faces of joy are one of my favorite things at Christmastime.
Yay! A REAL ice-cream maker. Gotta love that.
Mom with some of my knitting projects (a few dish cloths)
Here Connor is modeling the gorgeous baby booties knit with loving care by JulieAnna's grandmother in Argentina. They are so warm and cozy and fit him perfectly. What a special gift!
The recipe book. I so loved making this gift for Natalie that I had to order one for myself!
After all the fun and excitement at my parents home, we drove to Pataskala to celebrate Christmas with Gary's family. MORE GIFTS????!!!!
I just love this photo of Maci and Maddy. It's like Madelyn is saying "I don't get what's so funny?"
Gary's parents with all their grandchildren.
Jon, Janie, Maci and baby boy on the way (due in March. We can't wait to meet him!)
Todd Smith and his girls (Lindsay, Kylie and Erin...oh, and Molly the doggie)
And here's our last family shot for the day. What a long, WONDERFUL day!
It truly was a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
THANK YOU EVERYONE for all the amazing gifts.
We love you all!
