Merry Christmas!

Christmas started early this morning for us, as it does for any family with young kids (right?). It was still dark out when the kids came down to open their stockings and presents from Santa.

The girls have been excited for Christmas for months and even BabySlimJim picked up on the excitement (sort of).

It was all we could do to hold them off from opening their presents from us until after breakfast.

And then we spent the day playing with the new toys and getting Christmas dinner ready.

After dinner we smashed a peppermint pig. A Saratoga tradition we might have to add to our Christmas every year. No one really wanted to eat the pieces for good luck, but it was really fun to smash it with the tiny hammer!

Merry Christmas!!
