Merry Christmas...a little late!

With moving into our new house Dec. 22nd and receiving our shipment of stuff from our old country on Dec. 24th..... we about had no time to sit down and celebrate Christmas. Luckily we found a few spare minutes between unpacking and supervising Eli in the new house and were able to up-wrap some presents. We actually borrowed our friend's tree (our friends were in the states) and put it up on Christmas Eve, ha ha talk about decorating late! We enjoyed unwrapping presents with an audience of Rachel's family watching on Skype, eating Pig'n' Blankets, and drinking Dr. Pepper! Merry Christmas, enjoy some photos from our celebration!

It is not time to open presents yet Eli....
Ok, now it is time to open presents... what you don't see is that most presents have already been opened some by little hands!
Two people that really like opening presents!
Christmas morning.... a little overwhelmed... and a little tired!
Hey mom... how can we get this to happen every morning!

Love the pictures. Some of us know that snooping into presents early is a trait handed down from mother to son...

It looked like Eli had a wonderful day! How are Mom and Dad with all this taking place in such a short period of time????? And Debbie, believe me when I say that present snooping trait came from both Mom and Dad. Corey and Rachel won't be able to hide anything from Eli the present snooper! Love the pics.
