We had such a wonderful Christmas day! This is the first year that Caden really understood what was happening, which made it all the more magical. When Caden woke up he asked me if I would look outside his window to check to see if Santa was still at our house. While he was very excited with the idea that Santa had brought him presents, he was not at all interested in running in to him face to face!! After we assured him that the coast was clear he excitedly ran down the stairs and was elated to find that Santa had indeed made a stop at our house. He kept saying "Thank you, Santa! Thank you!". He had a lot of fun opening his gifts, and much to his delight he helped his sister open some of hers too...Kinsie opened one gift out of her stocking and decided she was too busy playing to open the others!
To Papa and Grandma's house we go...
Since I was a child it has been our tradition to spend Christmas day with my Grandpa and Grandma Smith and my Grandpa and Grandma Lininger at my parent's house. We were very blessed to continue this tradition again this year. So once we had finished opening gifts at our house, we loaded up the car and traveled to the farm. We opened some gifts, had Christmas dinner and then opened some more gifts...Santa is very generous at Grandma's house! None of us had anywhere else to go, so we spent the day enjoying time with our family and playing with all of the new fun toys that we received.
After an exciting morning of opening gifts at our house, Kinsie was pretty tired by the time we arrived at my parent's house. She immediately cuddled up with Papa Curt for some rest!
When anyone asked Caden what he would like for Christmas the only thing that he wished for was a pedal tractor...he was ecstatic when he opened just that from Papa and Grandma!
Taking his new tractor for a test drive!
The kids worked up an appetite opening their gifts!
Kinsie received a 25th anniversary Cabbage Patch Doll...as you can see her Uncle Tory and Daddy were also very interested in it!
Addison was VERY excited about the Ipod that she received from Santaand Kinsie had a lot of fun with it too!
Papa Bill and his little guys.
Papa Curt decided that he might just need an Ipod, too!

It looks like you had a great time with your family. It is so nice you can carry on your family tradition of spending Christmas day with your grandparents as well. Caden's pedal tractor needs to be green tho!! :o)
