Christmas Morning….

What a wonderful morning it was! We all woke up around 8am and ate a delicious breakfast, scrambled eggs and bacon with orange juice. Then off to the living room to open the gifts. At my moms house she has a lot of cats so only Santa’s presents were out under the tree with a large beach towel n top of them to protect them, just in case. Before the present extravaganza started we brought out all the other gifts from Scott and I and the boys. The area was FULL! How blessed are we! The boys opened all of Santa’s gifts first. THANK YOU Santa!

The boys already seemed happy and satisfied with those gifts. At our house Santa uses the same wrapping paper, a very special kind and he also gives the kids 3 gifts each. Like I said, he is so generous! We took turns one by one opening gifts and the boys did a real nice job of saying thank you and liking each gift they received.

My gifts were pans, a juicer, large cutting knives, lotion, a sander, and a beautiful watch. Thank YOU EVERYONE! Scott got socks, a belt, shorts, 2 pairs of pants, some Wii games a book from Michael Crichton, pillows and some DS games. Will got a bike, clothes, church shoes, clothes, a golf glove, DS games, teddy bears, a Bakugan book, Wimpy Kid book, a watch, Lego's and some games. Jackson got a few plush horses, lots of Lego's, Bakugan’s, clothes, transformers, a tin to hold all those (dumb) Bakugan, a Wow Wee Alive Panda Cub, socks, and some DS games. Tyler got several different sizes and types of Tiger's, Lego's a remote control Hummer, Transformers, Bakugans, socks, and some games. (Do you see the pattern here….) Gavin received some Handy Manny toys, a tool set, a jack hammer and blow torch, socks, and a remote control Hummer. Brigham received a few plush Elmo’s, a Elmo book, a ball, a baby doll, Mr. Potato Head with Suitcase, socks…hmmm….I don’t remember…..He helped opened lots of “family” gifts. Nathan got some passy’s, a teething toy, a ball thingy, diapers and wipies.

Like I said we had a GREAT Christmas! Thank you Santa, Nana and Papa!

After the chaos of opening all those gifts we played with a few of them and then got ready and headed to Lompoc. We have several wonderful cousins who live there. We had lunch there, visited, played games, and did a gift exchange. I made vinyl sign for everyone…shocking I know! I received a cute little bubble bath set, and THREE new Willow Tree figurines! How wonderful! One of them is from the angel series and she is crossing her arms to make the “love” sign in ASL! I can’t believe I don’t already have it!

We drove home and made a yummy prime rib roast dinner with a veggy, homemade rolls, baked potatoes, and some dips and chips. We set the table and everything!
We had a VERY Merry Christmas. I hope you did too!
