wake up, make coffee, wait for parents to wake up, wake siblings up while we all huddle around the tree, waiting on our parents. When they finally make it out of bed (they were always up all night wrapping all the gifts), my parents would hand out presents while drinking their coffee. We used to do stockings before presents, but we stopped doing stockings at some point. We would then go our separate ways with our gifts until it was time to go to my mom's parents' for dinner, where we would eat dinner, open stockings, THEN open presents.

Before Peter, Andrew and I woke up, exchanged gifts, watched Andrew's dad open his present, then hang out till it was time to go to dinner. We go to my family's dinner first, then his.

This year, we got up, fed the baby, then helped him open his presents and I opened mine (I'm still waiting for parts of Andrew's present in the mail, making him an emerald dragon necklace), and now we're hanging out until it's time to leave for my family's dinner. I got the best present ever from Peter :') 563570_10151890212439405_1563598229_n.jpg
