My kids are sleepers....in the morning. We have 3 night owls, and every Christmas since I can remember they have always slept in. They go to bed super excited and tell us every year that they will be up early, but, once again they weren't up before 9:30 :)
I love being up with breakfast cooking when they decide to grace us with their bright, shiny smiles Christmas morning. They haven't lost the joy as they've grown older. I love it!
Stockings are all of our favorites, and they are always spilling over onto the floor with all the goodies we could find.
We begin the festivities the evening before by having an abundance of finger foods, full of fun and calories, and top the night off by opening one gift. It's the same thing every year...cozy pajamas, and it's one of our favorite traditions.
This year, Jake opened the first gift of the morning. This isn't the norm, but I bought him a new lens for our camera, and I wanted him to use it! :) So, here are a few of our savored moments from Christmas morning.

mommy blogger. As a mother that has suffered the loss of multiple children while becoming a mother of the bride to our oldest, raising 2 young adults, an 8 year old preemie and a 6 year old tornado, I have a lot to share. I can't guarantee you will agree with everything I say, but I think you may just enjoy it. This is our life, the good, bad and ugly.
