Looks like we were good this year!

When we woke up Christmas morning, we all realized that we had indeed been good this year.  Santa had not only found us, but was very generous!

Since Christmas was on a Sunday this year, we let the kids go through their stockings and see what Santa had brought before we headed to church.  Here are Jace and Emily checking things out.
Baylie found a kitty webkinz in the top of her stocking and was happy about it!
Jace just beginning to 'dig'' into his stocking - he's sitting in front of the 'Hot Wheels Wall Tracks' Santa brought him
Lindsay was super thrilled with her new MacBook Pro Santa brought her!
After church, we came home (the kids put their jammies back on) and started unwrapping the gifts that were under the tree...... Jace
Kenna and Emily with Jace looking on

Ali, showing off her new webkinz - a walrus she named Wille
After all the presents were opened....... we had a bunch of smiles and a big mess of paper and boxes!

Each of the kids always gets a new outfit and this year I found Jace the best shirt.  It has a guitar on the front that he can REALLY PLAY!  He absolutely loves it, but I think I'm already tired of it!
This picture is a bit out of order but here is Makenna with her gift from Santa.  It's a big high heel shoe chair! 

We had a great Christmas, we love this time of year we have to celebrate the birth of our Savior and be grateful for His sacrifice for each of us.  It was wonderful to have Christmas fall on a Sunday and the kids were really good about not opening gifts until after church.  We are truly blessed and this time of year definitely reminds us of the blessings we have and to be more grateful each day for them.

  2. I love the shoe-chair! It's funny... we got our jambes back on too, but I think this year's pictures are the only Christmas pictures where I have make-up on! See? Going to church on Christmas has LOTS of benefits! :) I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas!
