Christmas Day

Olivia woke up first but she waited all the way until a bit before 9 am so that was very nice! She went straight to her stocking and found her umbrella and candy. She was thrilled about the umbrella as she had been wanting one for quite some time. Then she wondered where Santa had put the other gifts because of course she was expecting a Tinkerbell clock...she looked around.....and smiled when she saw what was on the kitchen table......her clock!! She was very pleased!! She was excited to show Ashlyn what she got and was very very anxious for Dylan to wake up but was on strict orders to let him sleep.

Ashlyn's stocking and Santa goodies!

Finally a bit before 10 am Dylan woke up. He had such sleepy eyes as Olivia literally handed his stocking goodies over to him. Yes, she was too excited to take the time for Dylan to get his things out of his stocking himself. Dylan was also thrilled about his umbrella and then Olivia was ushering him into the kitchen to see what Santa had brought him.

The kids happily played with their Santa things as we woke everyone up and got around to get down to busy on the gifts under the tree.

Dylan had been waiting a long time to see what was in his big box so he went after it very quickly. I've attached just a few of the pictures of the gifts the kids received. Thank you to everyone who gave the kiddos a gift. They have enjoyed each and every one of them!

Ashlyn gave every gift a chew test, including its wrapping paper.

Time to play in our Christmas snow. Yes, the umbrellas went outside. It was good protect with Papa started throwing snow.

Dylan got Sister.

Olivia had quite the set up on the couch. She had all her gifts spread out and created a fun little play area.

Also, Olivia had to go to sleep with her new clock all set up and ready to wake us up for church the next morning.

I've included a few videos from our morning.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2010!!
