Santa did a great job on gifts this year, bringing the kids 3 each like the wise men brought baby Jesus.
Hannah's not quite to the age of waking up early in anticipation yet, so we got to sleep in until around 8:00 when Jason and I could no longer wait! We went into the kids' room and got them up. During the month of December, I had put a nativity scene in Hannah's bedroom, minus the baby Jesus. I told her that we would know it's Christmas when baby Jesus arrived. Sure enough, Christmas morning, baby Jesus was laying in the manger, and Hannah knew it was Jesus birthday!
I think Hannah was a bit unsure and still waking up at first, taking in all of the presents that had magically appeared overnight. It didn't take long, however, for her to dive right in.
Hannah's 2 favorite gifts were the kitchen and cutable food. She played with them all day!
Jack was happy just to play with the wrapping paper, but Santa did bring him a picnic basket of his own, too.
Once the morning settled down, Hannah, Jason, Jason's dad and grandpa headed downstairs to watch Hannah's new movie, Mary Poppins.
One of my favorite things about staying home this year was that I was able to use my China and have a nice family dinner. My parents came over early in the afternoon, so we were able to celebrate with all of the grandparents. We had prime rib and all of the fixings. Amazingly enough, everything turned out wonderful!

Jason's parents left later in the day on Christmas and my parents spent that night. Another favorite present was Uno Moo. Hannah and Grandpa played quite a few rounds with some of their own "special" rules.
Jack, again, just content to have something to chomp on.
Santa was VERY good to me this year, too. I got a beautiful Coach purse and 6 settings of formal silverware to complete my set. Overall, it was a very merry Christmas.
