I love waking up on Christmas morning!!! John always records my son and I coming down the stairs to open presents. My dad usually gets to our house ten or fifteen minutes after we come down. I couldn't figure out how he always does that until I discovered that he wakes up early and drives around our neighborhood until he sees activity in our house. After we open presents it’s time for me to make our traditional Christmas morning brunch!

It has become tradition in our home to have my Mom and Step Dad for Christmas dinner. The best part is that it's so relaxed that we eat dinner in our pajamas.
