Christmas at the McGhies

We wanted to post some photos of our Christmas at home this year. We had a wonderful holiday together, but did miss our extended family.

We started our Christmas Eve with a traditional fondue dinner and Matt reading the Christmas Story from Luke 2. The kids "acted out" the story using the Little People Nativity set, then the kids had a sleepover in Kirsten's room.

Santa brought drumsets to both Kirsten and Dalton this year (and gave Angela a set of headphones). Kirsten has been playing percussion for three years and is really excited to have a full set to practice on.

We had a slow, relaxed Christmas morning. The kids were able to play with and enjoy each item that they opened. I don't have a photo, but Angela finally gave Matt he Bose Wave Music System he has wanted for five years. Matt got Angela a Cricut cutting system.

Do you think Dalton was happy to get a Buzz Lightyear? When Dalton got a little tired after playing all morning he watched "Toy Story" with is Buzz and Woody toys by his side.

Kirsten gave Dalton a new set of toy tools. He likes to wear the
tool belt and "work" around the house.
Angela is the camera operator there is not one photo of her on Christmas day. We will have to do better at taking turns with the camera next year. We did take a lot of video and did capture Angela in a few shots. We had a wonderful holiday and hope you did too!!

Wow! How brave of Santa to bring drumsets to both kids! I guess HE doesn't have to live with it, eh???

It's fun that they have a little sleepover. We did that as kids too, but so far my kids sleep together anyway. Looks like a fun Christmas.

I'm catching up w/all my reading.

I was wondering why I've been hearing lots of drumming coming from your side of the street, now I know who's been practicing! I LOVE those pics, and Dalton looks incredibly adorable with his little itty bitty drum set next to big sister's set. How fun!
