MERRY Christmas! This year since we had guest it looked like we had present explosion! It was fun seeing so many stockings lined up, my camera couldn't really capture all of our bounty.
Santa didn't forget us this year even though we moved, and by the looks of the empty plate he enjoyed all his yummy treats the kiddos left out.
Cami got a Barbie Car, Josh his "2 awesome Diggers", Sophie a little laptop, & Phoebe a Mermaid barbie that changes color.
While we were waiting for everyone to wake up, which was a long time- almost 7am which is crazy late for my kiddos, we read stories in the study.
We had to gather here this year for our Christmas morning pic since we didn't go down stairs to a Christmas tree this year.
The kiddos were thrilled at the sight of the bazillion presents under the tree!
Everyone got all they asked for and a ton more!
Sophie's favorite gift this year was her own personnel pack of gum she got in her stocking, she didn't put to down for the rest of the morning. she held it in one had and struggled to open her gifts with her other.
Cory and I got lots of UofO items; I also got a UofO dart board, but it''s not pictured.
After the gifts were all opened we had our way yumm-o awesome breakfast!
Then the kiddos were off to run and play with all our new diggs, while Cory went to Dave's home to open his gifts with him, and I cooked a couple more items for dinner!
For dinner we had our Brazilian guests & Davie join us, although it is not pictured here Cory commented that I made enough food for a whole Tongan team to join us.
Following dinner we went downtown to see the Temple lights with the Madsens. All of December was so cold we never found a good time to go see the lights, Christmas wasn't as empty as we were told it would be, but we got an awesome parking spot so we were happy.
Christmas this year was truly magical in our family this year. The kiddos didn't have one fight the whole day, and everyone was so magnanimous with their gift sharing I have to say we were truly blessed to have had such a happy day celebrating the birth of our Savior with our family and friends.
