The scene the night before Christmas:
We woke up on Christmas to falling snow--the first time for me that I can remember. The whole day was relaxed yet charged with excitement from the kids. Michael spent his time chewing on various objects.
He conveniently learned to crawl right before Christmas so he could gnaw on lights when we weren't looking.
Keturah had a great time with all the toys, but we had to start hiding the candy because she kept going after it.
Bekah was excited to get presents again. Boy was the 26th a let down.
Alex was tearing through presents and passing them out so fast that we had a hard time getting pictures in through all the commotion.
Alex made Matt and I some decorations in school.
Matt got an ipod speaker.
And an extra Kitchenaid bowl for moi.
We made breakfast that the kids hardly ate because they already had so much candy. Alex and Bekah tried out their new snow pants and snow tubes, we played Candyland and watched Beauty and the Beast, we saw family on the webcam, and made a delicious Christmas dinner. All in all, it was the perfect Christmas.

Wow, that really does sound like a perfect Christmas. I love the million pictures of Michael chewing on stuff. And that dinner looks delicious.
So many cool gifts! We woke up to a heavy mist, so that was our "white" christmas. Falling snow is magical, though.
