Christmas Day

Christmas day was so magical. I woke up early to make cinnamon buns for everyone...then got the kids up to eat. After eating, we opened all of the presents that Santa brought us (everyone was VERY nice this year). Watching frances rip through all of the wrapping paper was so exciting. She reminds me of ME as a child. William had fun playing with the toys after sister opened them. I feel like this was our first "real" Christmas since Frances understands who Santa is. All she has asked for for 6 months was an Ariel dress (which my parents gave her) and a princess car (which Santa so generously gave her).
After presents, we went to church with my parents- i love going on Christmas morning because it is not crowded at all. It was hard with the kids, but we made it through... then after realizing I had NOTHING planned for lunch (just dinner), we ate at the Waffle House (which was VERY crowded-and VERY yummy). Then after a long nap, we enjoyed our wonderful Christmas dinner my hubby prepared for us. It was a perfect Christmas!!!
