Christmas Day

Christmas morning is so much more fun when
you have kids. Every Christmas morning the kids
find their stockings that Santa put in their room
and bring them to our room. They empty them out
on our bed. This is probably the only morning
Riley gets up before her sisters! We had Paige and
Sierra sleep in Riley's room so they would not come
up the stairs and see all that Santa brought before
the rest of us were up. Santa got the girls favorites.
Chocolate and watermelon gum.


The girls waiting patiently to go into the living room.
Sierra kept saying she was tired and wanted to go back to bed.
The girls go in youngest to oldest into the living room.
A family tradition on both mine and Brandon's side.

Great Grandpa Gardner came over when the
girls woke up to give them presents. He is such
a sweet Grandpa!

Santa brought tub toy mermaids that have color
changing hair. They love the tub and mermaids!
Owen loving his new toy.

The girls knew I bought these helmets for them
but they were surprised to see I put their name
and a design on the back with vinyl.

The girls giving Loves and Thanks to Daddy
for the gifts.

Riley being the good big sister that she is, read
Owen his new book.


It did not quite feel like Christmas day when
there was no snow and us and the neighbors were
outside. It was a good thing for the girls there was
no snow so they could ride their new scooters.
Sierra's scooter was little big and wobbly for her so I
helped give her a ride.

Brandon and I got bikes. Now we can go on
family bike rides. Something I've wanted to do
for a while now.

We had Brandon's siblings and Grandma and Grandpa
Gardner along with my mom, John and sister
over for a gourmet breakfast. It's starting to become
a tradition being the second time around. We love having family
over. My mom came over before breakfast to watch the girls
open presents. Grandma and Paige played Chinese
checkers with Grandpa John.

It was a nice relaxing Christmas. We did not have
to drive around town going to every ones house.
After a fun morning we went to Gardner's for dinner.
Riley got her Easy Bake oven she wanted.

Paige got her Car Racing Barbie

Sierra got her kitty cat musical jewelry box.
And her radio.

We have such a wonderful Family and we love
sharing the holidays with all of them!
