I got up at 7:30 Christmas morning to make breakfast while Wayne and Madison stayed in bed asleep. About 8:30 I went to wake them up to eat. I had used my beautiful Christmas dishes I got the year before, so we could have a nice Christmas breakfast (which was always the big Christmas meal growing up).



It looks like we had a lot of presents under the tree, but in reality only about 10 made it under. The tree was so low to the ground no more presents would fit under.
The beautiful rocking horse was Wayne's when he was a child. His grandpa made it for him and his brother. Wayne and his brother then had a bet going that who ever became a father first got the rocking horse, and obviously we won. Wayne then spent many hours sanding and fixing the horse so that it would be able to be used again.
Madison absolutely loves it, I have issues with how big it is. It is so huge and we have no space.



When Madison walked in she went right up to the chair threw off the two DVDs that were placed on it and sat down, she definitely likes her new chair.



Madison had a great time opening her presents, this year she knew exactly what to do.



At times it was just as much fun to play with the unopend present as it was to play with an opend one.

  2. I love those pictures...especially the ones of Madison sitting on her chair. That's really cool that you guys got the rocking horse from when Wayne was a kid - even though you don't have space right now.
