christmas morning

Christmas this year was so much fun. The kids were so into it and so excited. David set up a vidoe camera so that we could capture the whole thing on camera and then he blocked off the top of the stairs so that they would have to wake us up before they went down. It was so fun to hear the excitement in their voices as they were trying to hurry us up, we were trying to stall because it was pretty early but mainly to mess with them. David ran down before them and turned on the camera and then the party began. It was so awesome to watch them open all their gifts and realize that they got the things that they wanted. This year Luc has been way into superheros! So he got a batmobile and some superheros. He also got his first sets of Legos. I am sure there are going to be many more to come, but seriously why are they so dang expensive? He was a happy camper!

Ashley was very close to getting coal this year but I just couldn't do it and I didn't feel like dealing with the temper tantrum that was sure to come. So she got lots of stuff for her play kitchen that she got last year, a cash register, a shopping cart, more food, pots and pans and lots of cooking stuff. She also got some tinkerbell stuff. For being a sassypants, she sure got some good stuff!

And sweet Brooke, didn't get much because she doesn't need much but she did get a baby doll bed (so did Ashley), a couple of stuffed animals and a vtech jumpy turtle thing that she can sit on and bounce around, that plays music and sings. She was so happy. It was so fun to watch her experience her first real Christmas where she got into it. Last year she was a little too young to get it and we let her sleep through most of it! It was a great Christmas overall, my kids are still playing with their toys a week later so that is a good thing!

This face is priceless...
