Christmas Morning-at last!

Toby and I woke up extra early and walked the 4 blocks over to Sam and Jess' to be there in time to watch the grand kids open their stockings.
As would happen, those super excited kids slept extra late, so we waited quietly for almost an hour for festivities to begin.

 

 

And begin they did--the elves marched in

 

 

 

slightly disheveled and sleepy,

 

 

 

the coffee was brewed

 

 

 

and Sam's amazing cinnamon rolls were popped into the oven.

 

 

 

Then serious present opening started--a swinging chair for the Panama crew's deck,

 

the start of the cash register rivalry between Max and Simon,

 

 masks for Maddie and Simon,

 

girl discussion amusing David,

 

 

 

 

Taisie loving it all,

 

 

 

 

Toby wishing Christina a merry Christmas,

 

 

 

and the crew beginning to settle down.
