A Christmas Story
We had a wonderful Christmas here in the Schafer household. We are so blessed to have a very healthy and happy family. Here's a few (actually, a ton!) of shots from our life at Christmas.
Our normal routine on Christmas is to go to church, then dinner, then change into comfy clothes before opening family gifts. Yup!, we open gifts on Christmas EVE! Yippee!
I always love the candle-light service on Christmas Eve. I wish I could bring the camera, but it never feels like the place to break it out. Here's a shot after we got back home and before dinner. Our ever-so cute nephew was able to join us for the festivities.
He's tired of WAITING!
For the past few years, my mom and Julia have made steak and lobster for our Christmas Eve dinner. WOW!
After dinner, the kids get to change into matching pajamas....I think the adults should all get a set of these too! Can you just see the anticipation and excitement on their faces.
After a late night of opening presents, Christmas day always seems to come a bit early in the morning. Santa has arrived while we were sleeping, so the kids get more gear. And I got a cool new mug from Julia's family. I really look like I NEED IT.
Autobots, ROLL OUT! (from the Transformers movie...just in case you havent seen it.)
By the way, these two Transformers toys take me about an HOUR to transform.....being a DAD is cool.
And finally......the mess.
We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and were able to enjoy valuable time with your loved ones.
His sister is turning 2 very soon and has the most beautiful eyes. 
There is no doubt how much they all care for each other. Here's some shots from today of this beautiful family.....
