Christmas

Lauren woke up around 8:30 Christmas morning.  I think we may have been more excited as we went into her room yelling about what gifts may be downstairs.

Of course Lauren's first stop was Caroline's room where our bright eyed girl was awake and ready to be rescued from her crib and join in the excitement. 

We made them stop at the top of the stairs for a photo op.  Lauren couldn't help herself from peaking down into the family room at the gifts.

It didn't take long for Lauren to conquer the balance beams.

We had a wonderful day and were thankful to JoJo and Poohbah for the matching stockings.  A great morning opening gifts with Poohbah, JoJo, and Gonty.  Then we headed out to GG and Papere's for brunch and more celebrating.  By this time, Lauren had the whole package opening idea down and offered to help everyone open their presents.  The kids got some great toys we all had fun playing with, especially the nerf gun Mike bought for "Lauren".
Then it was back to our house with most of our families together for yet another fabulous Christmas dinner.
