Our Christmas... a little late.

We had such a great Christmas. It was Tagen's first, and she's at such a fun stage of life. It was also the first Christmas that Olivia really understood what was going on. She ran into our room in the morning and exclaimed, "DAD! There's presents on our couch and under the tree! Santa was here!" She was really excited and it was pretty dang cute. We kept it real simple, but it was enough to entertain the girls. They know they are loved and that's what really matters.

I'm so glad Brad was able to capture this facial expression of Tagen's.

She was loving her presents.

Olivia had this big smile on her face for MOST of the day.

As Tagen opened this box of clothes, she took each out, one by one

and flung them over her shoulder into my lap. It was so funny.

Then she wanted to do the same with Olivia's clothes... See her eyeing the box?

girls entertained for a while on Christmas morning.

The piano quickly took over her attention and they decided to play together.

It was a fun morning at home. After we opened presents at home, we headed up to my parents house to meet with most of my siblings. We had dinner and exchanged gifts. We really had a good day.
