Later Christmas Day: Ward Family Christmas

Christmas Morning Continued

We continued our breakfast tradition with my mom and brother, but this year we went to Patrick's house. He cooked up a yummy breakfast and the kids enjoyed opening more gifts.

Christmas Morning

I actually woke up before the kids and was waiting in the recliner. However, Delaney walked right past through the living room to our bedroom to wake me up. She kept her eyes covered just as I've always instructed her to do. What a good girl! I think Santa was pretty good to them. Santa left Jax a note explaining that he just couldn't make a wrestling mat this year.

And the big gift from mom and dad... What is it?

KINECT!!!!

I think they like it! I can't take credit for any of it. This was a dad purchase.

Bust a move! I think Jax was more excited about Dance Central than Delaney.

We are happy to report that all the money we've spent on dance lessons has paid off. Delaney whips the boys but currently, mama holds the record! Lucky for me no one besides myself bothers to pick up the camera.

Christmas Eve

Baylor kept asking when it was going to snow. I had to remind him that it doesn't snow every Christmas. While last year will always be memorable, I was happy that there were no travel issues and most of my family made it over Christmas Eve.

Cookies for Santa

Baking Cookies for Santa almost slipped my mind this year. I guess we were baking so many other things that I almost forgot. Baylor decided to watch but the other two insisted on making sugar cookies.

My Elf

This little girl is my ever present helper. This season she stuffed Christmas cards, assisted in wrapping presents, and baked. I'm sure I don't appreciate her enough; she makes all the tasks of life all that more fun.

Lights

Carole and I took our kids for an evening of walking around at Rhema. We first stopped off at QT for some hot chocolate. Although Jax is a huge fan of hot chocolate, he insisted on having a Koolie. I think he may have regretted that decision but he sure admit it.
I so love these three kiddos!
