Christmas Day with the familia... Valley Style

Our Christmas morning started like most Christmas' have begun before....an early morning start putting food in the oven and getting everyone ready for the present opening festivities... :)


Of course my chef got put to work... this time his task was the Christmas brisket that took the place of our traditional turkey lunch. 

It took awhile for Addie to open up to Chad...

Wow! Look at all those presents!

Let the festivities begin!

Everyone seemed to enjoy the presents Chad and I made them... a book of Addies first year!


Let the tears of joy fall.. :)
