It's always so pretty first thing Christmas morning... before the un-wrapathon begins...
The boys are wearing their U. of Utah pj pants I made.
Behind Sophey is the bookshelf Mike made for her. We waited see what color she wants it painted. We'll be painting it white soon... And to the right is the baseball coatrack Mike made for Jesse.
Poor Miss Greta doesn't like Christmas much. She shivers and shakes all morning.
The ham in the fam... Ainsley sporting her totally unique Christmas morning style. New cap, with new jammies, the apron I made, the coffee mill Mike made for her, and the coffee cup Sophey gave her. I don't know what she's set for-- coffee in bed followed by baking? But she's adorable, whatever the agenda.
And Sophey with her apron I made too.
Mike also made Corbyn a gorgeous inlaid wood box and a beautiful side table for me. It was a lovely day, filled with lots of laughter and joy. And best of all, this crew of ours. Not many dull moments around here, let me tell you!
We're still lingering in Christmas here... playing with new toys, parents and kids alike, and I've been terribly lazy the last few days. Doing my best to not even get to the grocery store! It's nice to be home and cozy. I'm snug as a bug in a rug... and quite happy about that!
See you after the New Year!! Lots of love to you. xoxoKelly
Looks like your Christmas was merry! You have a beautiful family. Mimi

I love how warm and cozy family Christmas morning photos always look---yours are no exception!
Such wonderfully creative gift-giving. Handmade is the best! You guys do Christmas well! :)
I'm happy that you're able to rest and recover some from all the busyness of the entire month! It's a whirlwind, isn't it??
