A very Merry Christmas

We've been enjoying Tom being off from work, so I've taken a break from blogging, but I do want to post on our wonderful Christmas Day.

It started off with opening presents...well, it started off with everyone waking up except Lukas. I had to turn the stereo louder and louder, trying to wake him up. He finally asked Tom to turn the music down. There's one kid who forgot about opening presents! He finally woke 1.5 hours later than normal, and he went to bed the night before at a normal time!

Lukas' big three presents were Marbleworks, Tinkertoys and Robbie the Robot (from Grandma and Grandpa). Natalie received Castle Marbleworks (for younger kids), an art easel and some beautiful outfits from Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle George, Aunt Leanne and Cousin Ben came over for brunch (the best meal of the day!) Ben had had Marbleworks years ago, so George was proficient at helping Lukas set it up...now Tom and Lukas play with it multiple times a day. Natalie really enjoys her Castle Marbleworks too. Lukas goes back and forth between the big three presents each day since.

Konrad was the hot commodity with Grandma and Aunt Leanne (wearing different outfits for each). And here's a pic with Grandma and Grandpa and their four youngest grandchildren (out of 15).

We pray that your Christmas was as special as ours was.
