Christmas morning starts with a BIG breakfast. We had eggs, ebelskivers, sausages, fruit, sticky rolls and plenty of coffee, tea and juice. Once we finished filling up, it was time to open presents. There is no rush on Christmas morning so we thoroughly enjoy the process of sharing our gifts with each other. Since we didn't even start breakfast until around 9:30 a.m., then gifts beginning around 10:30, the morning was over before we finished. Then, it's a quite afternoon of playing with the gifts, taking naps, watching the game or whatever we choose before heading out to the Lindley family gathering. Here are some pictures from Christmas day.
The sign says "This is NOT a gift." Doug wrapped this gift, wrote the tag and can give you the whole story. It turned out that is actually was a gift and Jon loved it.
Presents are fun no matter if you really understand the whole concept or not.
Maddie was happy to share the doggy with Jo.
After gifts, Julie, Rachel and Amy talked Heidi into teaching them to knit. Heidi proved to be a good teacher and they all managed to knit the beginnings of a very short scarf.
Rachel was getting the hang of it with just a little encouragement from Heidi.
Hans had gone for a run and was now watching the game while Amy continued to practice knitting.
A lull in the Christmas activites is the perfect opportunity for a nap and we now have the perfect couches for the above mentioned nap. 
Really, they are so CUTE!! Grandpa and Maddie Jo.
I love the girls pigtails and applaud their mothers for getting those teeny tiny rubber bands into their hair. Second cousins Maddie and Sophie enjoying their gifts.
Christmas was SO fun!
