Christmas morning

Here are some pictures from our Christmas morning!
Zack is checking out his gift from Grandma and Grandpa - a new train!



The Ridenour family tradition on Christmas morning is very special to me - and it was truly special to be able to share the tradition with Zack this year. Each year my parents hide the baby Jesus, and we have to find Him before we are able to open the presents. This year baby Jesus was on top of the poinsettia plant. Here Zack is getting Him.








We then put Him in the manger and all remember the true meaning of Christmas, before the opening of gifts begins. What a special time, and a tradition that we will be carrying on in the Thornton family!




Here is the little man helping Uncle Eric open one of his presents.


Marly all wrapped up!!


Hanging out with Uncle Mark.

My brother used to do the same thing with this reindeer when he was young!
