Christmas Day

Christmas day was so much fun! Steve and I woke up before the kids and got ready, well in our pajama's still, but ready. Steve got the hot cho ready and turned on the Christmas music while I put on make up and did my hair. We got the kids up and went down stairs to see the tree and presents laid out. Reagan is starting to understand the whole concept of Santa Clause and presents so it was great to watch her open her presents and deliver all the others to their intended recipients. She did this with total excitement and no matter what was in the package, she gave the appropriate surprised response. It was great! We opened our gifts at home, packed up the car with the gifts for Grammy, Papa, and Sky and headed to Grammy & Papa Henrie's to spend the rest of the day.


We were spoiled with a wonderful breakfast and too many gifts. It was such a great morning and everyone enjoyed being together. We have the tradition at our house to open one gift at a time so everyone can see what you got and you can thank the person who gave it to you. I love this tradition. The only down side is that it takes a bit of time to get all of the gifts open. Reagan didn't go down for her nap until 2:00 which is very late for her. But considering all of the excitement and the late nap, she was so great. As you can see, she got princess dresses and jewelry along with a princess tent. (The princesses haven't warn off yet.) Crew enjoyed the wrapping paper and I think he would have been pleased as punch if that was all he received. But we did get him a basketball hoop with balls. He loves it! It has been fun to get some boy toys around the house and not just princess things!



It was another great Christmas at the Diederich house. Thank you to all of our family for helping make it so much fun!
