Christmas morning ~

Christmas Eve ~ we put out our reindeer food and got the cookies & milk ready for Santa!

All snuggled in and ready for Santa! They watched a little TV, then got in bed with us and Dalton read us the Christmas story from Luke. They were so sweet listening! Mary Dalton said our prayer and it may have been the sweetest prayer ever! She thanked God for sending Baby Jesus and giving us Christmas.
She woke up at FOUR a.m! Santa had JUST left! We made her wait until 5 because Jackson was snoozing away! We let her go sneak and see if Santa had been by ~ She came running back in our room and her little heart was POUNDING ~ she was soooo excited! We got Jackson up and went to see their treats!

We cut way back on Christmas this year ~ and it was SO less stressful! The children were not overwhelmed and have played and played with their few toys! I was not worried about putting all the "stuff" up because there was not a lot of junk! Dalton & I both agree that this has been our best Christmas yet!

Mary Dalton & Jackson buy one gift for each other ~ this is when they were exchanging gifts ~ They were sooo sweet to each other!

It was a wonderful, relaxing day at home ~ filled with lots of laughter, a GREAT nap, and tons of love! I could not ask for a better day!
