In my mind, our Christmas morning was exactly how it should be. The only exception being it probably could have started an hour or two later. But with 2 young kids, we are used to waking up early. It was slow and relaxing. Quiet, filled with squeals and oohs and ahhs. Kate, like last year, would become so absorbed in the current gift she had opened that she would neglect her other presents. This just made the morning more fun as she would later discover another present to open. She was just as excited about Gwen's gift as she was her own. I love how magical Christmas is for kids.
Most of our photos from the morning are of Gwen smiling. That is pretty much all she does all day is smile. Mixed with a few shrieks, her current nickname is "Squeaky" because when bothered, she doesn't really cry, just squeaks--sometimes very loudly.

It was a very Merry Christmas. It was our first Christmas as a married couple that we didn't get on an airplane and were able to wake up Christmas morning in our own home. We love being with our families, but it sure was nice not packing a suitcase (or five). Now on to 2010...

So cute! I can't believe how smiley Gwen is. How fun.
You have a darling family. It's been great looking back on other posts to catch up.
It looks like you and your family had a beautiful Christmas together. I love the picture of your dad with your girls - so sweet. Happy New Year!
I was just going to comment on how the girls look cute and we love all the smiley pictures of Gwen... but then I realized Grant already said those exact same things... Hope you are doing well!!
