We had a great Christmas Day beginning with the kids letting us sleep until 8:00 am! The unwrapping began quickly after that, however! The kids very happy with their gifts and starting playing with them as soon as we were done unwrapping. Genevieve got more and more into it as the unwrapping progressed and, though she took a little longer than her siblings, she had all her gifts unwrapped within about an hour and a half. The rest of us took turns but moved right along :) It was very nice to have the whole morning to relax together until we headed to Chad's parents in the early afternoon where we opened more gifts, ate lots of yummy food and visited/played until about 7:30. This year we went home a little earlier than usual because we were leaving for Sunriver for the week with Chad's family beginning December 26th! I wish Christmas Day and Christmas break would last a bit longer...it's all going by way too fast! Here are lots of pictures once again. I am having a hard time narrowing my pictures down as I just love all the happy looks on our kids' faces...
We all had a good laugh when Cade 'accidentally' opened Chad's gift
O
The carnage!
It's become a tradition to take a picture of each kid's gifts from Christmas Eve and Morning (if you can believe it they all got a little more still at Grandma and Grandpa's house later in the afternoon!)...
Cade's favorite was his first ever cell phone!
Willem was so happy to get his and Cade's xbox 360 replaced (the old one broke a couple months ago)
Elle was most excited about her itouch
Nev loved everything!
Off to Grandma and Grandpa's house...
Thanks Auntie Carrie!
Elle and Grandma!

Nev LOVES her Dora chair!
Kisses for Daddy!
The kids played xbox, played and chatted all afternoon
And us grown-ups visited, watched football, ate lots of good food and mostly relaxed and enjoyed each others company!

we are heading to SR on Wednesday, would be fun to run into you ;-)
What GREAT pictures Leticia! You did great with all the indoor light :) Captured lots of emotion too. Love Chad's big laugh at Cade's accidental gift opening. Love Nev's big smiles. Love all of the "thank you" hug pictures. What great memories captured! Have a great time in Sunriver. We had such a great time with you in Eugene... miss you already! Love you!
My favorite - frameable - one is Willem loving Nev. Priceless. Also ditto Amber's comments. Love you!!!
ok, just looked through this again and noticed how many different Genevieve faces you captured - beautiful!
