Christmas Morning

Christmas morning started VERY early in the Mitchell house. Macie was up before 5am. She wasn't feeling well and turns out she had a low grade fever. Everyone in our family has a cough/cold (except Lilah) and we've all been under the weather. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't go any where. We convinced Macie to go back to bed and she fell asleep. A few minutes later, Lilah was up and ready to eat. While I was feeding her, Gavin woke up and was crying because he'd peed through his pjs. Lilah had also peed through her pjs so they weren't able to wear their new pjs to open presents. Brian brought him into bed with us after he changed him. We cuddled for a bit until Macie woke back up. Once we all woke up, we went into the kitchen first to see if Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk. Then, it was into the living room to see what presents Santa left.
Macie and Gavin saw the princess cup and train cup right away. They were SO excited! The kids did so well when opening presents. They sat down while I passed out one present at a time. They opened the present, cleaned up all the trash, and we moved on to the next present. The kids were so patient and good. They were also so excited and it made Christmas morning so much fun.
Once all the presents were opened, I helped the kids open their gifts while Brian started breakfast. We started the tradition of eating a big breakfast on our Christmas dishes the first year we were married (which also happened to be Macie's first Christmas). Brian made scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits, and gravy. Right before we ate, Brian read the birth story from the Bible. This Christmas was even more special because it is our first Christmas as a complete family!

I got each child this sign because I tell them this all of the time.
