Christmas Day...

On Christmas morning we are not the early to rise family. We don't usually have the kids out of bed before us because they have learned that we usually will go to church before we start the gift opening.

This year, we had the blessing of spending Christmas day with my Grandparents. We drove up to Wabeno, Wisconsin after church. My Grandma lives at a nursing home now, but for Christmas day she came home. After going to church, driving north and then waiting for Great Grandma the boys were ready for their presents. A few years ago, I was tired of the waste of wrapping paper and I sewed a bag for each of the boys to put presents in. Now each year they open a gift bag with a gift or two from Chad and I. Usually someone crawls all the way into their bag to find the gift at the bottom.

This year, the boys each got a big semi-truck for hauling!Note also that there is a speed racer car and Noah is also holding an airplane that Grandma and Grandpa got them.
