Merry Christmas

 For some reason my vertical pictures won't be vertical. So here is our sideways picture of the kids Christmas morning before the unwrapping began.

 My parents came over to join us this year. And Hayden was old enough to be Santa this year. He did really well in fact I wanted him to move a little faster. But it was nice to take out time. So much build up to be over in a matter of minutes or in our case a couple of hours.

 We finally let the kids open their stockings at 5:30. Then they played with their stocking stuff while we cooked breakfast and waited for my parents. We ate and started opening at 7:00. I think it took us a little over and hour to unwrap everything.

 Grandpa Bill got them candy and gift cards, Grandma Sue got them some little gifts and money.

 Mom and Dad got Hayden a Pokemon game, stuffed animal, and blanket, plus a little more. Santa got him a electronic play kit.

 Coy got a blanket too, a stuffed bear, some prepared slides for his microscope and more. Santa got him and tennis tether-ball set. Which we have all been playing with, it's so much fun.

 Harper got some gorgeous clothes from Grandma Sue and some cute toys from us. I of course had to get her Cinderella the movie too. I know deep down inside she wanted it but just couldn't form the words. :)

 Grady got the same bear Coy did, he also got toys instead of money from Grandma, a laser gun game, and a screw driver kit from Santa. They were all so happy and so were Travis and I watching them.

 We had such a fun great day. One of my favorite Christmases yet.

 Coy's tether-ball gift was the biggest gift under the tree so he was so excited. We make the kids wait for the Santa gifts till all else is gone and we made Coy wait to the very end.

 He was so funny hopping up and down in anticipation. He wasn't disappointed he has loved his game.

We are still waiting for Grandpa Steve's gifts which they are excited about, they got lost in the mail hopefully they will show up soon. All in all we had a super Merry Christmas.
