I was expecting both boys to be up super early (like usual), but they both ended up sleeping a little past their regular wake up time. Elliott was up first and he couldn't believe that Santa had set up the Geo Trax in the living room! It was fun watching him check it all out!
We opened presents, had more reindeer pancakes and then we all went to church. The rest of the day was spent at home playing with all of our new toys and cooking a delicious ham dinner!!

This is how we displayed our Chirstmas cards this year.
This year we went back to having an artificial tree because of Elliott's allergies. I really liked how the artificial tree looked and as I was decorating it I remembered my Mom had a lot of Christmas ribbon. I decided to wrap the gold and red ribbon around the tree. I like to think of it as a symbol of my Mom wrapping us in her love. I just noticed in the picture that our angel is crooked and that's because Elliott got onto Greg's shoulders so he could put the angel on...I guess we never straightened it out - makes for a good memory!
Love how you displayed your Christmas cards!
