Christmas Morning

//  by Elisabeth McKnight//  5 Comments

Christmas morning is different having all my siblings be older, without the eager anticipation of what santa left for them in their stocking. The real excitement this Christmas came from carefully picking or making gifts for each family member and being so excited for them to open them. I love these guys a lot, and feel so lucky that they’re my family. 
A few shots from our morning: 
^^all the kids huddled in the library, waiting to go into the great room where all the presents are (we can’t go in till the whole family is there)
^^along with some empty sparkling cider bottles we found this note from santa “Dear Earnshaw’s, Where are my cookies? I will let it slide this year because I found these. next year I want cookies. Love, Santa Clause.”   — whoops! 

^^I’ve been doing lots of thrifting since I moved to Cincinnati and had accumulated far too many gifts for my little sisters so we decided to set it up Christmas eve after they had gone to bed as a little boutique they could “shop” on Christmas morning.

^^me and my new lens – I was one happy (and still quite sick) girl on Christmas morning

^^my little sister maddie – who is now taller than me


^^Ben got covered in presents and wrapping paper

^^a darling Christmas banner my grandmother made (if you flip it over it says Happy Birthday –  how neat is that!)

^^caleb decided to try on a skirt from the christmas boutique too 😉


^^tired, sick, and oh so happy 🙂

^^I gave my dad this Indian carved nose to hold his glasses from uncommon goods (he also got this, which took him a second to figure out).

^^sister tickles

^^we hope your Christmas was filled with as much love and laughter as ours was <3
