Finally it was Christmas at our house! It felt like we were counting down forever with Caleb this year. He was so excited for this. Christmas Eve we left out cookies and milk for Santa along with a picture that Caleb drew. Santa left Caleb a note and that was pretty neat!!! We ran downstairs to check out the stockings (oh cute jammies are courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa from North Dakota...perfect for Christmas morning!) and then the kids started to open gifts. Big hits were the pillow pets from Santa. 
After opening gifts at our house, we went over to my parents' house to open gifts with them and Joey and Stephanie. After gift opening we have breakfast and then head back to our house to unload everything. This year Caleb and Ella got a huge kitchen set from my parents...so fun! Caleb was also so excited about the camera he got from Joey and Stephanie. He immediately wanted to take pictures and proceeded to do so all day long. What a cool present! Really we all got a lot of nice things and had a fun time watching everyone open gifts like always. This is always my favorite day of the year! We had Christmas dinner at my parents' house too, with some of my mom's family. We had another Christmas celebration with that side planned for January so not everyone was there for dinner. It was still a nice time and we stayed later that night, playing games with Joey, Stephanie and Laura.
