Christmas Day

On Christmas morning, William George was the first person awake in our home, with his usual 6am (or earlier -- much earlier, in fact) awakening. 




After a quick breakfast, he headed upstairs to his sisters' room to tell them that Santa had visited!!!!  He found them sound asleep.




They quickly got up and were ready to venture downstairs.



Gracie, who had asked Santa for a new stroller and a new doll, was so happy and excited to see a pristine new stroller under the tree.  (Lauren was surprised to see one delivered for her, too.)


Gracie also inspected the cookie crumbs Santa left behind while Lauren prepared to empty her stocking contents onto the sofa.



She found many Hello Kitty accessories!



Early awakenings aside, George's good behavior earned an exersaucer from Santa. 



After using the exersaucer for a while, he was ready for his morning nap.  Generously, Lauren and Gracie opened his remaining presents while he was resting. 



After Christmas brunch, we enjoyed some extended play time. 



Most importantly, we know that Christmas is about the ultimate gift, the birth of Jesus, and we emphasized the birth of our Savior on Christmas Day.
