Christmas Day!

 Day 25:  Fred ended his visit with us reading about the Christmas story from Madison's bible.

 Christmas morning, Madi had already come to our room because of the horrible wind storm outside.  

Soon she was ready to go see her presents!

 Santa brought markers, books, make-up, dream-catcher kit, and more!

  While Daddy made our coffee, Madi and I sorted the gifts out.

 She wanted to open the gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Heider first.  All were a hit!  Especially her pocket knife.  She used it to open her boxes and already got a small cut.  It's officially been broke-in!

 She loved all the gifts we got her as well. 

 Madi and Mommy with sleepy eyes and bed head!  She was so excited for me to open my gifts (pajamas, pillow, earrings, and more!).

 Daddy loved his ceramic griddle for fixing his girls breakfast each morning!

 But his Apple watch was definitely a favorite!  Although he loved his sound machine, scentsy warmer for work, and cologne too.

 Then it was time to get ready for church!

 Christmas day was spent relaxing and enjoying the day together. 

Matt made some fudge.

 Then we enjoyed a fire outside while my favorite dinner of ribs were on the grill!

 I still can't say no to a bubble bath invitation with my girl while we watched a Christmas movie.

 We ended the evening with a game of Clue which Madi won rather quickly!

 Then we watched her play with the circuits Aunt Erin and Uncle Cody got for her.

 She has these at school too so she wanted to show us what she'd done before.

It was a wonderful day celebrating Christmas with our family.
