Christmas Day in Indianola

Christmas day, despite all the snow, we headed down to Indianola for brunch with my parents and my sister and her husband and their daughter. It was great to spend Christmas morning together. Brunch was very good...thanks Dad! After we ate, we moved on to opening stockings and presents. Morgan was super excited to see her auntie Heather!

Morgan is excited to find a red cardinal.

...and two clementines!

Wade is excited about his stocking, updated this year with a felt Santa!

Despite the toys in her stocking, Morgan won't put down the clementines.
Fruit makes us strong!

After the stockings were opened we headed into the other room to open presents! Everyone is excited.

Morgan was excited to get new bows on her shoes!

She is quick to help her grandpa open up some presents.

Heather and I gave Morgan music in a box...she was super excited to open it up!

Complete with a tambourine...

...and finger cymbals!

Morgan also got a new baby complete with juice and milk bottle, her motherly instincts kicked right in!

We had a great time in Indianola! Good food, good fellowship and plenty of laughs. Nothing beats the joy on an almost 2-year olds face as she opens Christmas presents!
