Christmas Morning

Yes, we had to stick a bow on the baby's head! Meanwhile, a couple shots of Collin and Miriam checking out the tree.

The children investigate the evidence that Santa did enjoy the milk, cookies, and chocolate covered pretzel sticks we left out for him.

Josh gave Miriam a new "pretty" - a little crystal cross on a silver chain. She was thrilled to say the least.

Miriam and Maura playing with their princess dolls (okay, Mim's playing, Maura's chewing), and the boys showing Maura how to play with another toy.

Miriam giving a big cheesy smile for the camera and Maura checking out the rattle from her grandparents.

And more kids opening presents pictures...

Maura got bored with the toys she got and decided the bow looked tasty.

Miriam waiting with her eyes closed for her big gift - which was a princess castle with all the accessories (it was just too big to wrap!) Sean and Collin are seen helping her check it all out.

And below, the aftermath (you can see the kids stockings in the background...those are the ones their grandma handmade and cross-stitched for them.)
