Christmas Day!!

Merry Christmas!!

Well, I do hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I know we sure did. It was Kaiden's first Christmas; he had no clue what was going on, but he did enjoy all the attention!

Our Day...

We woke up, had breakfast and hung out for a little while. Kaiden & I ended up taking a nap. Therefore present time was delayed. Finally after we woke up, we had present time. Then Mike started the ham and shortly after that I started to help make the rest of our dinner. We didn't have friends over, it was just Eli, Mike, Kaiden & I. It was a good time!! Here are some photos for your enjoyment.

On Christmas Eve Mike & I placed some cookies out for Santa... the note says

" Dear Santa, Merry Christmas -xoxo- The Osborne's & Eli =)"

Mike is making breakfast... pancakes & eggs!

Eli is still sleepy. He migrated from his bed to the couch!

Kaiden all happy after our nap!!Some little guy got a lot of love!

Yes, I got Mike man footed sleepers. He wanted some for the longest time so I got him a a pair. He wore them proudly!
