Merry Christmas - 2012

We definitely had a good Christmas this year!  After much excitement and waiting for what seemed like forever, the day finally came.  The kids anxiously went to bed the night before just certain they would never be able to go to sleep because they were just so excited!  But to sleep they eventually went and the next morning they were so thrilled with all of their presents!

I have to admit that I took very minimal pictures this year - but it was nice to be involved in actually watching them instead of worried about taking the perfect picture.  Here are some we took right after they opened their stockings.

Zach was thrilled about his new pocket knife and lego set.  Santa decided that maybe he was old enough to be responsible enough for a pocket knife - of course that was proven false a few hours later when he used it to saw into some paper wrapping instead of just peeling it off with his fingers.  The pocket knife is now in the garage awaiting him to get just a little bit older and responsible!  But he was excited none-the-less.


Hailey was excited about all the new earrings she got as well as the glitter headbands.  For some reason, Santa lost count as he was getting earrings and ended up getting her around 30 pairs!  Yes, this was one happy girl.  At least now she can't complain that she doesn't have very many!


Tate was happy about his cars and Sesame Street characters.  Show us what you got Tate!


Now show us again so that we can see your face.  Much better - except what are you eating?  Is that a sucker at 8:00 in the morning?  Guess he was excited about the candy in his stocking too!


After we opened up all of the other presents, we took some pictures of each child with all their loot!  

Zach got a kindle, remote control car/helicoptor, shirts, lego, gift cards, and much more!


Hailey got a kindle, princess skateboard, umbrella and rain boots, doll, shirt, gift cards, and did I mention a few pairs of earrings?



Tate got a basketball hoop, remote control Thomas train, TAG junior reader and books, tractors, and a table and chairs set.  (Notice the wink?  He's just learned to do this and I happened to catch it on camera - so darling!)


Yes, we had a wonderful Christmas!  There is nothing like watching your children get excited and enjoy Christmas morning.  We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and hope it was good for all!
