Christmas morning: our church had one church service instead of the usual two, which meant we had a few extra minutes in the morning. We were going to make the children wait to open their presents until after lunch. Cruel? I don't think so. It teaches them patience and what's a few more hours anyway. They only had three presents to open.
They do love each other and it is great to see their relationship as siblings evolve. Also, this is a good look of the girls in the dresses that I made for them.
Wow, love these kids!
And a few individual poses--hard to come by in our house sometimes!
Eden with her new purse (on clearance from Children's Place over a year ago).
Emmet showing off his new tooth opening!
Eliza with her cute grin.
Ephraim with his dot to dot book that he has been working on continuously.
Ephraim took these pictures of Seth and I.
For lunch we enjoyed the company of my parents and Seth's brother Paul. We grilled steaks, had cheesy potatoes, beans, applesauce, jello and rolls. It was perfect! And then the kids were ready to open their presents. We do three gifts per child. That seems to work well and it keeps our holiday simple and focused. We usually do a clothing item, a toy and something educational.
With their gifts.
