Christmas morning!
As I said before, all the kids were sleeping in the basement, except for the sets of parents and Aubrey.
Mrs Claus brought a box of each child's favorite cereal and some chocolate milk Christmas Eve night while everyone slept. It's a fun tradition.
Aubrey is good and wakes up consistently at the same time each morning. So at 8, we went to get her from the play pen and made our way to the basement to see who was awake down there. Aubrey had no problem waking everyone up.
We waited for Jared's parents to wake up at their leisure and got in our positions to open presents when they came downstairs. Aubrey played Santa again and handed presents to people before getting distracted by something.
Christmas was so much fun. We got so many great things we wanted and a few extra :)
I got to Skype with Ben for a few minutes, which was so awesome!!
On the kitchen table, everyone's stockings were waiting for us to open. But people were so in love with their presents from the tree, that we waited a little bit before opening the stockings. We got more amazing gifts!
The table was cleared of stockings and we began getting ready for breakfast. Brandon Roush brought some really yummy cinnamon, orange and strawberry rolls for everyone, which were the hit of the meal!
After that, we enjoyed some of Aubrey's new movies and just relaxed. People tried on their new clothing or just had a pajama day!
Christmas dinner was delicious ham and new potatoes. One of my favorite meals. And we tried some sparkling cider that was a gift for Jared's dad, Tim. They were pretty good!
It was a pretty low-key day and we just spent most of it relaxing. Which is how Christmas should be :)
