Christmas Morning

I love Christmas morning.  I know it is over quick, but it is so fun!  We didn't start until 9:00 AM this year.  We thought Caitlyn was asleep, but it turns out she was the only one that obeyed and was waiting in her room because she thought the boys were still asleep. 

Santa was good to the kids this year.  They must have been good.  They each got one present and their stockings from Santa.

Wyatt kept telling Santa that he wanted a lightning buzz for Christmas.  None of us knew what he was talking about.  Luckily Santa did because Wyatt was so excited that this little gun was in his stocking and apparently it was the lighting buzz he had been hoping for!

We gave Hallee and Wyatt a new kitchen for Christmas.  I got a really good deal on it and I was able to sell our old kitchen to pay for half of it!  I didn't get a lot of pictures of their presents this year.  We tried to tone Christmas down this year.  We talked a lot about how blessed the kids are and that they didn't need much.  We also went to Arizona the day after Christmas and the kids were happy to give up presents for the trip. 

I love the excited faces when they open presents.  I didn't get a picture, but I found an amazing deal on storage bins with a lego table on top.  Jonah loves it and I am happy that he has something to organize his room.

Caitlyn was so excited with her new lava lamp.

The three older ones got new back packs. They were all so excited about it. 

Hallee loved her new dog pouch that she can keep her crayons in.

Caitlyn has been wanting fake glasses for a while now. She also loved her new wig!

I got some amazing deals on costumes after Halloween.  I got Hallee a bunch of princess dress up.  My kids love to play dress up so I gave them all a costume for Christmas.  Wyatt and Jonah were really excited with their Spiderman costumes. 

I think this present was perfect for Jonah.  It is a really nice basketball hoop for inside.  We got four balls so everyone can play.  We hung it up on the back of the front door so he has the hard wood floor to play on.  He loves it and it is a great outlet for him on cold days.  We have all had fun playing with it.

We had a wonderful Christmas.  We tried to focus on Christ and spend a lot of quality time together.  I am so grateful for the birth of our Savior.  He brings me so much hope and peace.  We spent the rest of Christmas day playing with new toys and taking it easy.  Later we went to my mom's for dinner.  We visited and played games.  It was a wonderful day.
