The Day We All were Excited For...

CHRISTMAS DAY!

This is Santa's spread...I grew up with Santa's gifts not being wrapped and running to see what I got. TJ went with this tradition because he realized that Santa has a tough job:). Sophia's main things she asked Santa for were a pink guitar, cash register, and baby doll.

Evidence that Santa came to our house. The first thing Sophia said when she woke up was, "Is Santa here?" She seemed a little apprehensive because she loves Santa, but not up close. I reassured her that he wasn't here, but did come.

Yah a cash register!!!

And pink guitar! She jumped up and down with excitement. Those moments were priceless and made Christmas day even more special! Rocker girl:)

After playing and checking out what Santa brought her, it was time to open family gifts. Santa rocks and gives all the fun stuff. Mom and Dad just gave her pj's, game, and movie.

Daddy's turn to see what was in his stocking. TJ's favorite part is the stockings. Santa brought him practical stuff in his stocking this year, hahaha! Notice Sophia is right there to help! She did that with everything:)

Off to do Christmas morning with my side. The Uffens tradition is to wake up and meet on Mom and Dad's bed. The kids are ready to go. Notice the girl matching PJ's...adorable! Those pj's have turned into Sophia's favorite.

Here we are in the hallway waiting to run down and see what we got! (And yes, I still run!!!)

Sophia got loaded up! She got her Baby Alive. She was very particular and pointed to this baby every time we were in a store. This baby laughs, eats, drinks, and poos. Little did I know that I will be changing 2 diapers next month, haha! This baby will give Sophia lots of practice.

Time to drink...What a good mama!
Our day was not over. We went over to celebrate with TJ's Dad side and then back to my parents house for dinner. We are truly grateful for both our families and for everything they do for us, but we were all ready for bed at the end of the night!!!
