Christmas Morning Photos from the Merriman Clan

We had a very special Christmas morning with Elsa .... she was very interested in digging things out of her stocking and then in pulling the paper off of the packages, the gifts were okay but the boxes were more fun! She really kept us all entertained. What a wonderful morning!

A very rare quiet and snuggly moment with Oma... I treasure them when they happen.
This is my favorite photo of all that were taken.... Elsa was fascinated by a spinning light pattern in this ball. It was given to her by her Godparents, Nell and Earl.
Mama captures Elsa for a photo but she is intent on getting down and finding some more paper to tear off of presents.
Aunt Kate is a very special lap to be in especially when you are eating a tangerine.
Here she is digging out the goodies that Santa left in her stocking. The stocking is longer than her arm!
Oma helps Elsa with her stocking that Santa filled with goodies.
