I love Christmas morning. Even though the kids are getting older, there is still so much excitement. I'm probably more excited than they are. I can't wait to give them the gifts I've picked out for them.
It's getting harder to come up with ideas for their stockings as they get older. I think they were all happy with them though.
Hallee and Wyatt both needed new bikes and were very excited about getting them for Christmas.
The only idea Jonah gave me was Yeezy slides and a Tupac shirt. He knew he was getting the slides because I had him help me order them. He was still excited about actually getting them.
The hardest thing about the kids getting older is the presents they want are more expensive. I have a hard time only giving them one or two presents so I try and find fillers that aren't too expensive or something they need. Caitlyn got stuff for her dorm. She was excited with her dishes!
The kids wanted me and Keith to open our presents first. Hallee and Wyatt gave me a diamond art set. It is a picture of a beach, I love it!
Hallee got Keith a new game.
Keith surprised me and got me a stocking. That was a great surprise.
Caitlyn got Keith and I some games and a calendar. She got me "The worst case scenario" game. She said she knew I would excel at it, Ha! She knows me so well.
Jonah gave me and Keith a gift card to Chilis.
The boys got Keith a sweatshirt.
I had fun buying Hallee lots of little toys and crafts.
Wyatt kept changing his mind on what he wanted. He was really excited to get Mario Party for the Switch.
Jonah got a lot of clothes. He told me about a store he likes having a sale and we were going to look at it, but we never did, so I just ordered what I think he would like and he was happy with all of it.
Caitlyn got lots of stuff for her dorm. I think that was fun for her. She's getting pretty excited to move out on her own.
Wyatt wanted a hot wheels track.
Hallee was excited to get a Provo School of the Arts jacket.
We opened presents until it was time to get ready for church. 9 AM church is rough on Christmas morning. It wasn't too bad though, the kids were all in a good mood so that helped.
We were even ready early enough for a couple of pictures.
We had a great Sacrament meeting with lots of music and talking about Jesus Christ. It was a great way to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

Great blog as always! I'm glad you had a good Christmas morning and that church was so good for you! It looks like your children were very happy with their gifts and they all looked great before going to church! I loved Hallee's dress! It is hard when the kids get older but they're still fun when they're happy with their gifts!!
I love the pictures of you guys before church. You're such a beautiful family!
