Merry Christmas from the Little Storm's!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! We've had the big Christmas morning here at the Storm house.....actually, it was quite a while ago with as early as this crowd likes to get up. Alison woke up a little before 6 this morning. Ashley got up with her, and about 10 minutes later, Grace came running into wake me up, "Daddy, get up!! Santa came and brought presents!! He ate all my cookies!!" Grace helped make cookies for Santa last night before church......she left him 5 (four from her since she's 4, and one from Alison since she's 1.......we may need smaller cookies when they're 9 and 6.....or at least a bigger glass of milk). Grace had a lot of fun tearing into the presents under the tree and she liked all her gifts! Alison didn't get into the opening too much...she liked the bits of paper from gifts already opened.....and then, she wanted to play with Grace's stuff and vice versa......I guess we should've switched the tags.

Here are some pictures - The first set is from Christmas with St. Louis on the 23rd, and the rest are from this morning.
