What Did Santa Bring You?

On Christmas morning, after we open our presents, we all bring food to Aunt Shannon's house for a big brunch/lunch. There's a lot of people...aunts, uncles, cousins, and my Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone eats (and eats and eats!) and we open presents for each other and laugh and talk together.

After we're there for a couple hours, we head down to the park a couple blocks away, and everyone plays soccer. My Dad and Uncle Sebastian are usually leading the pack. There are a lot of boys in our family, big ones and little ones!
We head back to the house, and someone inevitably turns on the 24 hour marathon of A Christmas Story and we watch it together plopped on the couch or on the carpet. It's a good day. :)



Murphy gets a new bone every Christmas. He sometimes doesn't even chew it, but will go and bury it, making sure that no one is watching him.









Ryan, and the other little boys, all got a new transformer from Grandma.

Hello, I just stumbled onto your blog while ordering a dress for my daughter. (I'm not sure how google made that connection...) I just wanted to thank you for sharing your wonderful story and giving that sweet little girl such a happy family. She looks so content with you, and I wish your family the best of luck as she (and the rest of your kids!) grow up. She's a lucky girl to have such a great story to share when she gets older!
Cheers!
