Our Family Christmas

After several weeks of holiday preparations, a cookie exchange, Santa's arrival at the Christmas walk in town, a reading of the Night Before Christmas, and the setting out of the cookies and milk, the big night arrived for Owen and Paxton. The stockings were hung from the chimney with care...
The sun could not rise early enough, or maybe it hadn't even broken the horizon when the excitement began. Owen led the way downstairs and even offered some friendly encouragement to hurry Miss P up.

A collection of hidden curiosities awaited the two of them at the bottom of the stairs.

In life, there aren't many things more simple or rewarding than seeing Christmas morning through the eyes of a 4 year old and a 2 year old.

At such an early hour, a cup of coffee helped Brecken, while a giant candy cane seemed to hold Paxton over until breakfast. Merry Christmas to all....at home family style.
