Christmas Day

Christmas day was wonderful. I was sad to realize moments ago as I downloaded all of our pictures from the past week or two, that I didn't photograph much Christmas day. But then again, sometimes it's nice to just sit back and enjoy.

The kids woke up right around the crack of dawn Christmas morning. They came in to get us so we could go downstairs to see what Santa had brought. For Abby, he brought an Easy Bake oven that she had REALLY been wanting. For Carson, he brought a Leapster 2. Shortly after, Ammie and Poppy came over for the opening of gifts and Christmas brunch. I've really enjoyed this new tradition of the past few years. I have such fond memories of my Grandma and Grandpa spending Christmas morning with us as kids, and I'm so happy Abby and Carson will have similar memories.

Mid-day, we all headed over to Ammie and Poppy's house to celebrate Christmas there. It was great spending the day with family, eating good food (prime rib, as per Powers family Christmas tradition), and having lots of fun. I couldn't be more blessed!
