Christmas Day

MERRY CHRISTMAS (okay...I am trying here!! :))!!! Christmas Day was sure fun-filled, present-loaded, and just an all-around great day!! We started the day by waking up, going downstairs and seeing that Santa came!!


Of course, no time for breakfast...time to OPEN PRESENTS! The kids loved looking through their stockings to see what Santa brought them. Hailey actually took her time a little too! :) Ryan was very serious that the oranges at the bottom of our stockings needed to go in the fridge and the candy needed to go in the pantry!!


Hailey's favorite gifts were her Island Princess Barbie (first picture) and her new pink camera. Oh my... it was a "mini me"!! :) She was taking pictures of everything...people opening gifts, breakfast, snowmen on the walls, etc, etc, etc. I am glad Santa got her a 1 GB card for her camera!! :) Look at her in the last picture...right in there taking a picture!!


Ryan's favorite gifts were his Bronco helmet and of course his toy gun. The boy was trying to get bucks all over in the house!! :) He was sure fun to watch!!!


After all the Santa gifts, we finally had breakfast. The kids were remembering that it was Jesus' birthday, so we all sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus at the table! :) How cute is that?!?! :) After Chris and I got ready, we finally got to open the remainder of our family gifts. The kids sure didn't care since they had toys to play with!!!

Hailey had fun sorting the gifts...she wanted to READ all the tags!! It was great, but we had TONS of gifts to go through. Here they are all ready with their piles of gifts at home :


Finally it was time to go to Grandma & Papa's house!!! First thing Ryan had to do was shoot the deer in the front yard!!


Here is a picture of all the cousins (Owen, Mason, Ryan, Hailey). Actually turned out good! :) Then, Hailey got a "Baby Alive" and Ryan and Owen got guitars! Crazy, but fun!! :)


They all got late naps, woke up to have a yummy supper, and then we were off to our house again to have Tim's bday party (it was a surprise). It was a loooong day, but we had a lot of fun!!
