Christmas Morning

Santa Came!

Daddy showing Claire how the tunnel works.

Thankfully he made it through. Probably the first and last time.

Santa knows his stuff!

Giving the tunnel a try.

The balloon made it through too. Thank goodness!

Grammy and Gramps arrive for Christmas morning.
Grandma and Pa came over before Christmas Mass but we didn’t get a pic of them.

Claire shows Gramps how the tunnel works. I think Gramps has been through this tunnel before . . .

Taking a moment to visit Baby Jesus. He just arrived early this morning.

Daddy and his favorite beans. The only ones he thinks they should bother to make.

Claire trying out Mommy’s new slippers.

Cousin Thor showing everyone how it is done while Claire beat on the side. Being six feet makes it a bit more difficult to make it through than when he was Claire’s size.

Thor and his new puppy, Rascal.

Proof Mommy was there.

Grammy taking care of Gramps.

Claire got a slinky from Santa! She was very happy!

We had a really wonderful Christmas and hope everyone else did as well.

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!
