Here Comes Santa Claus!

Christmas in Dallas was so much fun! We had a great time at the Christmas Eve service and then came back to the house for some pictures and a little dessert. Ethan and Kinley loved wearing their reindeer shirts!

Then, before we took Ethan to bed, he set out his milk and cookies for Santa! He even wrote Santa a quick note to remind him of what he wanted (a new bike, helmet, and Monster Truck Wrestling).

Everyone was up early on Christmas morning and everyone was excited to see what Santa brought - even Kinley! She was excited to see the toys and clothes that Santa left:


Ethan must have been a good boy - Santa brought him everything he wanted!

Once the kids got to see their Santa gift, it was time for the adults to do their thing. First order of business - Uncle Alex made the coffee:

Jill and Nonnie waited in the kitchen while Ethan and Auntie sorted all of the presents:

Poppy and Kinley patiently waited their turn for more gifts!

Ethan picked out a special gift for his sister this year - a little gumball machine for her to play with! And being the helpful big brother he is, he was more than happy to help unwrap (a common theme for the morning):

After watching her brother open gifts, Kinley wanted a turn too:

What a wonderful Christmas morning! And there was plenty more Christmas to go. Stay tuned!
