Seventeen people in a house, but 4 excited little boys can get everyone up on Christmas morning. Seeing the wonder and excitement of Christmas in your kids eyes is always amazing. It also makes me laugh to see them get excited over the silliest things- like a box of Christmas lights that you used to wrap their present in!
Makaela in her “Miss Claus” outfit. Caleb by the very full Christmas tree.
Santa doesn’t wrap his presents, so the boys are able to get up and unload their stockings and play with what Santa brought. This gives the adults a little time to wake up. This year Santa brought the boys bikes and pedal carts.
Once everyone is up, it’s time for the fun.
Eli’s method for Christmas- unwrap present, play, the unwrap next. Dad helping Makaela unwrap her gifts.

Where is the floor?

The aftermath!After the presents are unwrapped, then of course all new toys must be played with.
Just Dance 3, watch out here comes Bridgette and Rachel!! A little rain doesn’t stop Rachel and the boys from riding their bikes and playing soccer!!
Not everyone was full of energy…
Zach and Papaw kept dreaming of sugar plums!!
It was a Christmas full of food, fun, and family. It was a Merry Gallander Christmas.
