I Love Christmas Morning

Christmas morning at 8:30 (our compromised time...Chad, Cade, Nev and I wanted to sleep in while Elle and Will wanted to go downstairs earlier!), we all headed downstairs together to open stockings and then open gifts. I love Christmas morning. It is relaxing, fun, a little chaotic and filled with smiles and laughter. Genevieve especially loved her Barbie RV with lots of Barbies and accessories as well as her stuffed purring cat and stuffed kitten. Willem really loved his new basketball shoes, basketball 'elite' socks, new indoor soccer shoes and his small basketball hoop. Gabrielle loved her Birkenstocks, Delia's and American Eagle clothes and her Nike leggings. Cade was happiest with his new soccer shoes (which he picked out) and his new basketball shoes as well as his new Vans and clothes. The boys were also excited about the new TV for the playroom as well as (used) xbox 360 and games to go with them. They were all thoroughly spoiled but also very grateful. It's always fun to see the funky things Chad picks out like a Mighty Python shirt for Cade and Mighty Buffalo shirt for Will (from one of their favorite funny YouTube videos). Chad also spoiled me with new Uggs, CrossFit shoes, some clothes and more! We finished opening gifts by about 10:30 and then relaxed and played until about 12:30 when we headed to grandma and Grandpa's house for more fun and family time. 

1:00 am Christmas morning after Santa's visit!

That picture of Chad and the boys is one of my favorites of the year for your family. Needs to be framed!

I agree with Marilyn! SUCH a great capture with so much genuine energy. Your family is just so gorgeous Leticia! Love the shots of you and Chad in them, plus of the kids going down the stairs ;)) Merry Christmas!!
