Christmas Morning

The kids woke up so excited Christmas morning. We met in my parents room to have prayer as a family before we went and saw what Santa brought everyone. Of course we lined up youngest to oldest before we could go out and see. We also sent Grandma N. and Nate out to find some seats to watch all the action.

As the kids came into the living room the shouted "HOLY COW!!" First the kids went to check out their stockings and see what Santa brought them. The kids were spoiled and received some awesome things from Santa. Ben and Emmy were so excited to finally have Angry birds like Hyrum. Ben and Emmy also received a watches from Santa. Hyrum found some Beyblades by his stocking and some other fun things. Both of the boys received Nerf Guns and Emmy received a barbie among other fun things.

Of course my kids received some books for Christmas that they instatly started to read.
The boys loved their BYU ties.
Grandma N. gave Emmy and Lucy some cute dolls for Christmas.
Grandma N. gave the boys some awesome hot wheels, Cars 2 games and toy banks that they can use to keep track of their money (the banks have been a big hit around here).The kids received a variety of fun movies from everyone. Some of them included Lion King, Cars 2, and Bambi.

Emmy stacked all of her's and Lucy's presents (she could tell by the wrapping paper). Emmy was so excited to show Lucy all her presents when Lucy woke up.Lucy joined us about three-fourths of the way through the present opening and was able to enjoy some of her presents. She received her bow and bracelet that she would wear for her blessing as well as hippo pillow pet, cute clothes and some fun rattles for ChristmasBrandon and I were completely spoiled this year and received so many fun presents. I think Brandon's favorite was the Puerto Rico game I gave him.

Hyrum was so excited to pass out his artwork (that is on a magnet) to everyone. The kids also gave Millie and Tracy some gum. Papa received some blueberry pancake mixes from the kids. We gave my mom an 8 by 11 collage of pictures from the year and some special treats. Camille, Sean and Tracy and Brandon and I pitched in to get my dad a kindle which I heard he has really been enjoying. We gave Sean, Grandma N. and Nate some gift cards for the itune store.The kids are so cute when passing all their gifts out and always so excited to give.

One of the best presents of the day was when Sean received a wipe warmer from someone in Tracy's family for Christmas. We all got a good laugh out of that one.The kids received some fun binoculars from Millie.The boys received Monster Trucks from Sean and Tracy. Emmy received lotion and hand sanitizer and other girly things that she loves from Sean and Tracy. Emmy also received the "kissing picture" from Sean and Tracy's wedding that she has loved from the moment she saw it. The picture is now affectionately next to her bed. Lucy received wipes from Millie and an adorable skirt with pants from Sean and Tracy.The kids found their note from Santa telling them that he left Hyrum's awesome bike and Ben and Emmy's sweet scooters at our home in Memphis since it would be too hard to bring home on the airplane. The kids thought that was pretty awesome!The boys received an awesome race car track and another cool car toy that they have loved!Emmy has loved the Polly Pockets she got from my parents.Emmy was so excited for her big sister shirt and Lucy's little sister shirt. Emmy also thinks her soccer shirt is pretty awesome!It was a wonderful Christmas morning. I haven't done the amazing day justice and I am sure I left off some things. After we opened presents we then went to church where Lucy was blessed and enjoyed a Christmas Sacrament meeting. Next, we went to Lana's for the traditional Christmas Breakfast and then to my Grandma's house. It was a wonderful fun filled Christmas day.
