Christmas "Morning" Madness

What happens when you have a house full of 13 people including a 18 month old up at 6am and a 28 year old up at 10 am (motivated by the brute squad) for Christmas morning? Well, you don't start opening socks until noon! Let's just say that Elena was very, very patient.

Elena and Brayden passed the morning wait by vacuming the house with the ball popper. (also used as morning wake up for those with the gall to sleep past seven). Then we had breakfast, opened stockings, and started in on presents. Eventually we had to take a nap break for the kiddos and then started up again before our Christmas dinner of roast beast.
