Christmas is always a crazy and exhausting day because we wake up and open presents at home. Then we go to Steve's parents for breakfast and gifts. Then we go to Kim's parents for lunch and gifts. Then we go to the Tyndall's for Dinner and gifts. It's a non-stop stay that starts as early as 7:30 a.m. and ends as late as 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. Here are some pictures of our fun, but exhausting day.
Alissa opening her gifts at home Christmas Morning. These gifts are
all from Santa Clause. I can tell because Santa wrapped his gifts
in a different kind of paper than mommy and daddy.
Alissa helped Kitara open her gift. Alissa picked it out.
Here is Alissa with all her gifts including the ones from mommy and
daddy. The clothes were all from mommy and daddy.
