Christmas 2012

Every Christmas Morning the kids wake up, find their

stocking and come to our bed to show us what

they got. They are still waking up a bit but are so

excited!

The kids lined up youngest to oldest to go into

the living room to see what Santa brought them.

It's a tradition on both Brandon's and my side,

Oldest to youngest.

Paige was thrilled she got her Lego set she asked for. 

 Riley loved her new coat that Brandon

and I bought her.  

Sierra was so excited that Santa got her a scooter like

her sisters. 

You don't even have to ask if Owen liked his new

train set.  That is all he played with all morning. 

 This was a fun gift for me to give my kids.  Earlier

this year I took the kids to the Zoo and they all asked

for a stuffed animal which I told them no but secretly 

got it when they were other wise occupied. 

So when they all opened this gift they were shocked 

but thrilled to get the stuffed animal they wanted. 

Owen got an Elephant, Riley a Polar Bear, Paige a Tiger

and Sierra a Seal. 

It's funny Owen wanted an Elephant since he was

terrified to stand close to the Elephants at the zoo. 

This makes me laugh!  Owen was so excited that he

got Thomas the Train Under wear.  Not because they

were under wear but because they were Thomas the Train. 

 Oh well if he probably won't be potty trained for 

months but he was proud to show them off.

Owen gave his Dad a new Black Belt.  I think

this year Owen got the hang of giving presents to

people.  But of course was quick to loose interest 

and look for one to open himself! 

Later in the day we went to Brandon's parents

to spend the evening.  

Grandma and Grandpa spoiled the kids with

more presents.  The kids absolutely love the gifts

they got.  

We gave Grandma a puzzle of a picture of all

her grandkids on the boat at Bear Lake.  It had

all their names and ages on it also.  I think she 

loved it! 

I've been dying to get another purse.  Mine was falling

apart.  I thought Brandon would have got it for me

since I showed him the one I wanted.  But When I 

didn't get it from him I was a bit bummed but

in stead Lisa got it for me.  I was thrilled! 

 Brandon got a rash guard shirt or a dry suit top, 

which ever you call it!  Which he loved!
