On Christmas morning, the kids waited until almost 7am to wake up. They were excited, but not over-the-top. Gleeful:)
When Andrew came out to the living room, he jumped up on the fire place and was so amazed to see that the stockings had been filled overnight. And Someone had eaten the cookies, leaving only crumbs!
Sylvia’s favorite part of gift unwrapping is pulling off the bows. After that, she’s pretty much on to the next thing. Andrew got some pirate gear, and we all got musical instruments.
My album of Christmas morning pictures is available here.
Here Andrew has just rushed into the room and opened his first present.
Handing out some presents to Sylvia…
Sylvia got a baby doll. Granny made little quilts for both Andrew and Sylvia’s dolls out of adorable ’50s fabrics. Look at how my sweet girl is tending to her baby.
Christmas morning 2009…
Each stocking contained a rice krispy treat snowman popsicle. Sylvia loved them and ate several…

Oh dear. We’ve got a pirate in the house!
A pirate with a hook!
Two pirates!! This one I call Red Beard. I think he’s a hot hot pirate.
Andrew and Sylvia are entranced by Veggie Tale’s The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.
The big kids are doing a scavenger hunt. Such fun!
A clue hidden behind a 1986 plate decorated by Bryan.
Trying to discern the solution…
Cheers, everyone! Happy Christmas!! I hope yours was a grand one:)
Thanks so much for sharing your Christmas Eve and Christmas morning photos with us! The kids are looking adorable and I can imagine Sylvie launching into those Rice Krispie treats 🙂 I’m excited that Andrew is into pirates!
