Christmas Morning!!!!

Christmas mornings are extra magical with little ones! Brandt couldn't believe that Santa left cookies behind, so he thought he should make sure they tasted okay! ;) Sometimes, Santa and Mrs. Clause forget these things. Good thing the baby was the first one up (which is abnormal, by the way)!
We all had coordinating Christmas jammies, but Brandt's were wet when he woke up, so he changed into some others and snuggled with Daddy while he drank his milk! What a joy to get to spend Christmas morning together this year--even though it was a Sunday!
 I ended up having to wake our resident teenager up because the babies were ready to go! :) She was trying to wake up, and she was staring at her gift!
 Trying to process...
 Mama, is that mine?? :)
 It's hard to see, but she had tears in her little eyes!!!!!
 Happy girl!
 Happy girl #2!
 Happy boy!
 Look at this little doll. We didn't spend very much on them this Christmas, but their smiles made us feel like we gave them the world. There's a lesson there...
 Sweet biggest sister! Her favorite was that little dollar bin Star Wars cup sticking out of her stocking!
 Brandt loved his poop book! ;)
 It was so fun to watch them unwrap their gifts this year!
 Bubbers!
 Books and ear muffs for the win!
 Brandt went crazy over his little tractor book that the tractor can actually drive on!
 I will not apologize for the several pictures that are coming up next! They are only little once! :)
 After they opened their gifts, we had our Christmas morning devotional. Daddy read the Christmas story to us again, and we talked about why we celebrate Jesus' birthday! Then, we took lots of pictures of these precious ones.
 I mean. They are soooo sweet (mostly)! ;)

 I adore these faces. They just keep growing so fast!
 Silly family selfie!! Brandt clearly didn't get the silly face memo! ;)
 Brandon was putting his tracks together, and he kept leaning over to kiss him! He was so happy!
 Brandon and a few members of his choir recorded this music video of them singing a beautiful Christmas song. It was amazing. Be sure you click below to watch it! The church shared it out on Christmas morning. Love him!
 Holding hands and snuggling while we watched the Disney Christmas parade--a family tradition!
 This is out of order, but I want to remember it. Someone sent me this Christmas Eve picture that they took from the back of the worship center. So beautiful!!!!
  On Christmas Day, we literally played ALL DAY LONG in our jammies! It was a glorious, precious, wonderful, most needed day with our little family!!!!!! Truly--it was perfect.

By the next morning, Daddy was ready to get out, so we headed to Jay Jay's cafe for a family breakfast. These sweet girls were so sweet and loved getting to eat breakfast out!
 I love these matching shirts that I had in their stockings! Isn't that precious?! Perfect for out family!
 The girls and Brandt kept changing sides of the table, so they could sit by us both. They know how to make us swoon. :)
 This is one of my favorite sights in the whole world.

 Precious little hands.


Merry Christmas [in April] from our family to yours! May we all remember that we celebrate Jesus year round, but we always pause on Christmas to remember that He came into the world to save it and reconcile believers to God that we might be with Him forever, but he came in the lowliest way. What a King!
