Christmas morning started at 7:00 when we heard 4 voices in unison calling, "Mom! Dad! Mom! Dad!" They were still in the boys' room calling for us to come get them. What good obedient children! We lined them up to come down the stairs and as soon as they hit the bottom they went running. Clark was excited for his Playmobil Romans and Bakugan. Katelyn was ecstatic about her American Girl daybed that even had matching bedding like hers that "Mrs. Claus made for her". Jacob couldn't get enough of the Playmobil Pirates and Planet Heroes and Carlee kissed and carried her Bitty Baby around all day long. Santa sure found and spoiled us. After playing with their Santa toys, we opened presents to and from each other. Some favorites were laser tag for the boys, high-heeled Minnie shoes for Carlee, and a new wallet for Katelyn. Joe and I were spoiled as well with a nice new camera and video camcorder. We get to spend all Christmas vacation reading manuals on how to work those things!
We ate a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, eggs, and bacon and enjoyed playing the rest of the day. In between games and watching new movies, Joe was busy packing, downloading his new James Bond movies and other music, and setting up Internet cameras while I tried to finish unpacking from our trip and wash the laundry. It was a nice Christmas and we just enjoyed being together and playing.
We are especially grateful to be a forever family this year. We feel so blessed and taken care of. We are grateful for our Savior, His birth and life, His sacrifice and His gospel. We thank and appreciate our families that love and support us all the time. We are grateful for amazing friends that have become part of our extended family as well and appreciate their support and friendship. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas!
