Christmas Day 2008

What a fun day Christmas always is. I unfortunately was not feeling great. I had been up all night feeling so sick. But it still turned out great and the kids had a ball. They all came into our room very quietly. Then they said, "Did Santa come?" We had them all use the potty and I went downstairs to get pictures. They all came down together and the look on their faces was priceless. Santa was very nice to us this year. And thankfully, he didn't give us too many toys and lots of things we needed! After opening presents, we had sticky buns for breakfast, and we set up the toys for the kids. Then I started cooking Christmas dinner. The Monfredis stopped by for a bit and then later the Souths came over to share in our Christmas dinner. After a yummy dinner, we played Harry Potter Clue and some Guitar Hero World Tour. (Dave's present from Santa.) It was our first Christmas that we stayed home all day and oh, did we love it. The kids just played and played. And all day, we kept reminding the kids what Christmas is all about. Jesus Christ.
Waiting to go downstairs.
Dave got this, socks, and underwear! He was so excited to finally open a good present.
The kids rotated between the doll house, rose petal cottage, and Mickey's clubhouse all day! It was so cute.
