Christmas Morning & A Funny Story

This was our first Christmas that we didn't spend in Utah with family but we still had a great time celebrating with just our little family. 

And a funny story for you. The night before Christmas Eve I spent several hours wrapping all the presents and then put all of them under the tree. Bright and early the next morning,  I heard some papers rustling and rushed downstairs to find Liam opening up every single present! I quickly grabbed all the presents and hid them before Gigi woke up. I should have taken a picture of the mess! So I had to re-wrap all the presents on Christmas Eve but needless to say I didn't put them under the tree! :) And when Liam opened up his presents for the 2nd time, he kept saying that he knew everything he got! "I already got this Paw Patrol present, mommy!" Here are some pics from Christmas morning...

And to close out the year, here's my top 9 pics...
