More Christmas fun!

On Christmas morning the kids got up a lot later than I thought, not until 7:30!  I finally had to wake them up.  I was anxious to get going because I had a big breakfast to make.  Our tradition is that the kids get to see their Santa gifts when they wake up and then open their gifts under the tree after breakfast, that way it kind of drags out the gifts a little longer. 

Sawyer was very happy that Santa brought him everything Toy Story!  He loves figurines  and got a huge set from Toy story.  He also got a Toy Story Geo Trax train.

Santa brought Libby her very own stroller to help her learn to walk, with a baby doll that she loves!

Carter got a huge Lego castle set and was very excited to start putting it together.  It only took him a couple of days.  Luckily its still up!

Santa brought Maddie her very own Keyboard and a Lego set as well as a DS game.  She can’t wait to start piano lessons once dance is over.

After we had a wonderful breakfast with my family, we opened our gifts together.

Libby could tell something exciting was going on.  She loved playing with all the wrapping paper and ribbon.

Later that day we went to Chris’ sister, Kirsten’s home and had a yummy ham dinner with the Nielsen’s.  Its always a great time with some good laughs when the Nielsen’s get together. 

Here is Libby with her cousin Halli, they share the same birthday!

While we were all visiting after dinner the boys thought it would be funny to dress up in Zoe’s dress ups.  Silly Boys!

The kids all put on a show for us and danced, sang and told jokes.  Kelli, Kirsten and I even got up and did an old DHS cheer for everyone.  It was a great time!

Looks like you guys had such a fun Christmas! I'm waiting for Libby's 1st b-day bash post! I can't wait to see her cute face all covered in cake. I miss everyone in Rancho sooo much! Caleb wanted to invite Carter to his birthday party, but then I had to break the news to him that he wasn't having a party. He misses his buddy!
