Christmas Morning 2014 – VIDEO

Christmas Morning is one of my favorite days of the year and times to be a mom!
It was a great day! Happy Birthday Baby Jesus and thank you Mary for your yes!
I loved seeing our Craigslist/DIY gifts played with..after many late nights of crafting!
So thankful for our family and friends far away who thought of us and sent gifts! It was torture for the kids to not open them before, but so worth it! We wish we could spend Christmas morning with all of you!  We love having this video to look back on and it seems our you tube people do too! Our Christmas Morning 2012 video has over 53,500 views! Thanks for being a part of our family adventures through my blog! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I always tell myself I’ll start earlier with wrapping…
but it always ends up being the night before… and I’m sewing felt sugar cookies,
wrapping and prepping Sausage Egg Strata till 2 in the morning. ;)
The kids woke up a little before 7. (Christmas miracleee!)
The step photos captured our kids in that moment perfectly!
There was no way I was gonna get all three to sit still for a photo…
not when they knew santa came!! They were a blurry giddy mess two steps down.

It was such a fun morning…It’s giddy giggling screaming kids
for a good hour then it calms down a bit and they settle into playing.

Heart was officially bursting at this point.
I LOVE how this year with their ages (2,4,6) they all played with everyone’s toys and together.

Ben’s dad gave them the trampoline for Christmas… A SUPER HUGE HIT.
Found it on amazon searching for kid’s indoor trampoline.
I LOVE my new robe. I turned into my mom and wear one around the house. haha.
The kids snuggle up in them just like I did with my mom ;)

I’ll be posting tutorials on the doll house and felt food soon!
These were my “after kids go to bed DIY projects” for the past few weeks and I love
how they turned out and seeing the kids play with them! I kinda of want to live in their doll house. Best $25 craigslist find ever.
And note to self.. next batch of felt food is all HEALTHY haha.. #givemeallthesugar

The mom in me 5 years ago would have had a panic attack at the thought of doing this…
But three kids in…we are rolling with it! I think I said don’t eat the dough at least 5 times and saved the girls from rolling pin attacks from micah once or twice. ;)
But we are making memories gosh darn it!! haha.
Giddy staying up past bed time kids were loving every second.


Merry Christmas from our crew to yours!!
Wishing you a blessed year with happy healthy loved ones.
