Christmas Day

On Christmas Eve the kids got to open their Christmas pajamas!  They all looked adorable.  Caleb has figured it out...he said, "Every Christmas Eve you let us open a present and it is always pajamas."

Santa was a busy man!  They kids were so excited when the came up the stairs Christmas morning.  They are such good kids.  They patiently sat there while Casey & I got our cameras ready & got Luke & Alexa out of their cribs.

Luke is in love with his car garage that Santa left for him.  The older kids like it too!

Caleb's new puppy, Oreo, got a brand new costume!  Captain America!  It was just sitting on top of Caleb's Christmas gifts, and he wanted to dress up Oreo before he opened any gifts.

Alexa got a darling princess castle.  The princesses come on horses and they gallop down the roadways.  I think it is called the Klippity Klop Castle.

Caleb had asked for some dinosaurs for Christmas and I think that Luke loved them more than Caleb did.

Santa was the man this year!  Caleb, Taylor & Rylee all got their very own Kindle fire!

See Taylor?  See Taylor's fragrance spray?  5 days later...that spray is almost gone.  She has LOVED it.  Sprayed it all over herself, me, Casey, stuffed animals - pretty much everything smells fantastic at our house right about now.

Brad, Mona, Shelby, Malissa & MaKayla came over for Christmas breakfast.  Brad was so excited to eat.  I must make a mean crepe.

Casey & I had a scare on Christmas Eve.  We had ordered Caleb an ant farm for Christmas and I had ordered some ants.  Well - the shipping details said that I wouldn't get them until the first week of January, so I hadn't checked the mail box for a couple of days.  On our way to Colby's for Christmas Eve, I hurried to check the mail and low and behold - we had ants.  Who knows how long they had been there.  I ran into the house & opened the package and they were dead.  Like crunchy in the package dead.  I was so bummed.  BUT - when we got back from dinner that night, they were ALIVE!  It was a Christmas Miracle.  Apparently they were just in hibernation mode because they were so cold.

We got the girls LaLaLoopsy color me dolls.  There is a commercial on a show that we have recorded that has these dolls and EVERY time we see that commercial they say in unison, "I want that!"  Wish granted my lovely ladies!

We stayed in our pajamas all day.  Ate yummy food.  Had family come and visit.  Watched movies.  And played with our toys.  They kindles were a big hit.

Rylee apparently had a really rough day and fell asleep on the couch around 6 that night.

The kids got sleeping bags from Brad & Mona for Christmas, so they got to have a camp out in the front room on Christmas night.  Merry Christmas to all & to all a good night!
