{ Christmas morning }

We got home so late Christmas eve that I wasn't sure what the kids would do in the morning. Even though I am an adult I still have a hard time sleeping on Christmas eve. I woke up 5:15 and waited for an hour for some sign of stirring from the other room. Finally at 6:30 I went into the kids room and woke them up! Ha! I couldn't wait any longer and we wanted to leave for Orem at 7:30.

We had so many wonderful moments as the kids got up and saw the awesome stuff that Santa brought them in the night. They always have the greatest reactions.

Our kids have the best reactions when opening presents. Our Christmas mornings are always filled with laughter.

I'm pretty sure it was a sucessful morning!

We rushed to get changed and out the door so we could head to Orem for Christmas morning with the Rifes. The kids can't get enough of their cousins.

They were exited to open their presents from Nana and Papa, as well as from their cousins.

Logan and I got spoiled by my parents with money and thoughtful gifts. My favorite gift though, was a necklace from my Mom. She has a necklace that she never takes off. It has an anchor, a heart, and a cross on it which stand for Faith, Hope, and Charity. She gave one to each of the girls and it was a special moment for all of us. I know we will all wear them forever in honor of our Mother and the wonderful person she is.

After we enjoyed a delicious breakfast we loaded up in the car once again and headed up to Salt Lake for the Hammer present extravaganza!

First the kids opened their presents from their cousins and Brammy and Bapa.

Then Brammy had a scavenger hunt planned for the adults. It was so fun to run around the house and yard finding clues. We finally ended up in the basement where our gifts were laid out. Judy had made these beautiful family tree pictures for us. I'll post a picture once I have it up on the wall. It was such a thoughtful gift, we will cherish it forever.

So it was another very successful Christmas for the Hammer family. I'm so thankful for this time of year we get to spend with the ones we love.
