Merry Christmas 2017

We felt so fortunate to have Grandma and Grandpa McKneely with us this year--what a treat!

Before a lot of present action got underway, we had another incident that would require another fanciful character--the Tooth Fairy!

Just a couple weeks ago, Matthew wiggled one of his big front teeth loose.  We commented that if he could lose the other one, he'd be the perfect candidate for the song, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."  But we didn't think it was likely because that sucker wasn't very loose at all.  That didn't matter.  Christmas morning this kid got to work on it and got it out.  Who knows how long he'll have that gap--but it's adorable, and a fun memory.

We sorted the presents into piles for each person (a McKneely tradition) and enjoyed opening them.

Then spent a lot of time being lazy and enjoying our new gifts: 

And as with any holiday tradition, there is the food.  The obligatory Cinnamon Rolls AND our Christmas Day Feast!
