Christmas Day 2011

Christmas day has arrived! After all the planning and decorating and shopping and parties, the day of Christ's birth is upon us. Celebrating Christmas on a Sunday can be tricky, but it is wonderful to be able to worship at church on such a day. After a slightly quicker Christmas morning than usual (and a Christmas morning that was extra special since it was Henry's first), we went to church. From church we drove to Doylestown and spent the afternoon and evening celebrating with Jeff's entire family. 
Here are a few pictures from the day.....

The kids love the agonizing wait at the top of the stairs while Jeff and I take pictures and turn on the Christmas lights downstairs.

I'm so happy that Henry decided to learn how to sit up prior to Christmas morning.  It was fun to see him "open" his gifts.

Kate loves tutus.  She even wears them to bed...and Christmas morning.

Only Grace can pull off, so well, a hat and mitten set that includes bunny ears.

Joost was especially happy to receive the Star Wars trilogy.

Even as an adult, it's great to be with your parents on Christmas day.
