Christmas Day

We had a low key Christmas Day, with very few presents - our gift to each other is a short family trip.   Lee's mom joined us midway through the day and we enjoyed eating and exchanging small gifts, as well as watching movies.

The early hours of Christmas morning.... 

They may be 12 and 14, but they still sit anxiously at the top of the stairs every year, waiting to be called down to open gifts.

Chocolate (above) and soccer (below) - pretty much sums up Emily. 

I don't even know wha was in this box, but her expression is great! 

The best Christmas gift of all - a trip to Chicago/South Bend and tickets to the Winter Classic.

Lambie slippers.
