Christmas Morning 2015!

On Christmas Eve, Jaylene & Mike carried on the tradition and made sure the angel was on top of the tree! Such a wonderful Christmas Eve together!!! (But Mike and Jay kept me up too late watching movies!)



Judy and Chester arrived at 10:30am and began by helping Deja open her stocking!

Judy couldn't believe the size of Deja's new bone!

Jaylene and her Dad opening their stockings together!

Fun finds!

Opening my stocking!

With Deja by my side!


Present time!

Mike's trying to guess what his parents got him before he opens it!

Gifts from Daddio and Eileen!

Eileen continues to win for best wrapping and best paper!


Hilarious redneck, Mustang shirt for Mike from my family!

Jay's turn again!

A beer glass made out of a recycled beer bottle!


Simply relaxed and content! (Love seeing this!!!)

Love having Judy and Chester with us for gift opening!

Another eco-friendly gift from Judy and Chester. Every purchase plants a new tree!

Ooooh, the working jacket Mike bought for his dad last year, but wished he had also bought for himself...Now he has one!


Some of the gifts were difficult to open. Scissors required!

Mike soaking' it in!

Jay opening another gift

...while her Dad and grandparents enjoy!

A comfy cardigan!

YES! this is the one gift Mike and I were anticipating: Grandma Irene's homemade jam! LOVE IT!

More gifts for Jay! She opened a book of wisdom first. 

Sweatpants for Jay!

A slick Beatles book for me!

Simply enjoying opening Christmas gifts together!

A cute dress!

Mike was surprised to find more gifts inside the BIG present from the Maguire crew!

Some cool, new glasses!

Mike's pretty stoked!!!

Jay's gift to me!

My BIG present from Mike was the last under the tree: a box drum/Cajon!!!

Finally we led Chester and Judy downstairs to find their BIG gift!

A new printer and scanner! It was needed and deserved. We think they like it!

Josh's Early Christmas!

It's a calendar of Josh and Jay growing up together!

Good ol' WEM trips!

Josh wanted us to open the gifts from him!

He bought me the new Drew Barrymore autobiography! 

Josh and Jay bought their Dad two new sweaters!

It was a fun early Christmas with Josh and Jay,
before saying our farewells to Josh at the airport
later that day.
