MERRY CHRISTMAS DAY!

Our Christmas morning consisted of Miss Keely hollering "Mooommmyy!" at about 7:50! :)  I love that my kids aren't 6am risers, but on Christmas morning you would expect it to be a bit earlier!  Her and I then went downstairs to wake up the boys, then the fun began!  Stockings have been the first thing the kids open the last few years (while they wait for Dad to get up and Mom gets her morning coffee.)
She was excited to get some makeup!
The boys were happy with their new touques with there hockey teams logo on them.
 Opening her new kitchen!
Boys with their Beats!
 Watching her new baby walk.
 Playing her violin the Keely way.

Every year we have both sides of our families up for a big Christmas breakfast that hubby prepares.  We were thankful that his sister and her husband from Montreal were able to be here before they move to the Dominican in July.  I took some pics of breakfast, but eating pictures are never that flattering, so I will save everyone the embarassment.  After breakfast and everyone had left, Mr. Chef declared he really wasn't feeling well at all, so the kids and I got ready and headed to his mom and dad's for Christmas #2.  They always keep the gifts they get for us at their house so the kids are always eager to go to Nana's after they have opened things home.
 Isaiah and Noah both got personalized luggage from L.L. Bean, hockey frames, etc.
Poor Keely had had enough of opening gifts looong before we got to nana & grandpa's, but eventually she gave in and opened some more.
Our day ended with a visit at my parents and a movie night with our Dee!  Overall, we had a really great Christmas!
