Christmas in Orlando

Santa dropped off gifts on the 23rd at our house because he knew we were going to be away at my parents' house.  Excited, Brian and I got up early that morning and waited for the kiddos to get up and see their gifts. We usually hope that they sleep in but that morning we could hardly wait for them to get up. Maddie woke up first. Oliver came into our room a few minutes later. We told him about the presents and he ran straight to the tree. Maddie was still in her room, and so he brought her a gift.  I ran  for the camera. They played with their toys most of the day and we left for my parents' house the next day.


Oliver's got major bed-head!


 One of his favorite gifts was his workbench. He loves playing with tools.


Maddie got a baby doll and a little stroller/walker.

Grandma Hayden sent gifts from Connecticut.  A Thomas the Train book for Oli and a Princess book for Maddie.  Oli has been taking the princess book everywhere we go because he loves all the songs it plays. ha!  Thanks Grandma !

In Orlando we met up with our dear friends Marshall, Melissa and baby Charlotte who were visiting from Naples.  It was so good to see them! 

I really wanted a picture of the whole group so Brian set up the camera on top of a garbage can and this is what we got.  For the record, that is Charlotte in the other stroller.

 We had a good time at my parents' house. Yummy food as usual :)

It was a very special Christmas!
