Christmas 2007

We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids were thrilled with the gifts they received. They were once again very spoiled. It doesn't happen that often so it is so fun to see their excitement and awe. Here are some pictures from Christmas morning.....keep in mind my camera stinks!!

Santa had a little snack of chocolate covered pretzels and marshmallows, thin mints, peanut brittle, and chocolate dipped snowballs. And of course we had to leave carrots out for Santa's reindeer.

We were surprised that our kids did not get up until 7:30. Cary likes to torture them by making them wait to open all their gifts. We let them look through their stockings which were crammed full of candy. (I don't know what Santa Claus was thinking) Then Cary made us a yummy breakfast which consisted of big, fat french toast, bacon, sausage, eggnog and orange juice. Then we let the kids start opening theirs gifts one by one.




These socks were Braeden's favorite gift.......hee hee. He had several high dollar items on his list like an mp3 player, guitar hero, and a BB gun, so we had to fill in with stuff like this.

Kate loves all things animal print. She got these pj's for Christmas and loved them!
Joshua's new obsession is star wars. He scored by getting several action figures and a star wars collector coin portfolio thing.

Kate's cherished tiger webkin.........
Braeden's mp3 player.....

Joshua loves to collect coins. A few years ago I started collecting all the state quarters for the boys in a quarter map and he loves looking at it. So, Cary ordered him a set of gold presidential quarters. He was very excited!!
The End!!
We love Christmas time and everything that goes with it. But in all of this "stuff" we know that we have truly been blessed. We are grateful for all that we have especially family and of course our Savior. We hope that all of our family and friends had a veryMerry Christmas!!
