Christmas Morning

It was a late night on Christmas Eve thanks to church, so Tara & I had the faint hope that the kids might actually sleep in a little this morning. They had been sleeping in the entire previous week while on winter recess from school, but alas it wasn't meant to be on Christmas morning. Bright and early our door was gently opened so that the light from every possible source in the living room and hallway could flood into the room and awake us. Considering that it was 7:00am, neither Tara nor I were eager to awake, but we forced ourselves to put our feet on the floor and get moving. The kids had already sorted through their stockings, but were not-so-patiently waiting for us to open their gifts. Please enjoy the results of their efforts...

Merry Christmas from Santa Claus!
