Christmas Day - Merry Christmas!

It was so fun to have Holly, Jeff, Claire & Ethan with us on Christmas Morning. Here is a picture of them as they waited for Papa to turn on the Christmas tree lights and check to see if Santa came.
 
Here is Ethan with his presents.
 And Claire with hers.
I am so impressed with Claire and Ethan. Some of their main Christmas presents were left by Santa at their home in St. Louis and they couldn't open them until they got home. There was not a word of complaint - they were thrilled with everything they received! Ethan was especially excited about his little pack of tic tacs! 

After we opened presents from Santa, it was time for the rest of the family to come over for our traditional German Pancakes and to open more presents from Nana and Papa. Here are some pictures of us opening presents on Christmas Day.

On Christmas Day, BJ and Shannon went to Glendale to visit with Shannon's family and Ty, Tiff, Holly, Jeff and Bryan and I went to see the new movie Les Miserables. The kids all stayed at Ty and Tiff's house with Kylie babysitting. The movie was fabulous - we all enjoyed it very much.

Here are some gingerbread houses that the men helped the kids with. They did a great job!
