Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas Day. Audrey woke up first and had such a hard time waiting for Kimee to wake up. We finally let her go in and wake her up, I think it was around 7:30am. Then Maddi did not want to stop watching Curious George to go in and see what Santa brought. She was crying, mad and groggy, and would not cooperate to walk in to the living room by age order.





Reading the letter from Santa. . .


I took a picture of their stuff from Santa before they came out.

Kimee's stash ...

Audrey's surprises...

Maddi's corner . . . (you can barely see the trampoline on the left)

 Wow! Look at this!!!

 Maddi loves her baby.

After opening up all of our gifts, we went down to visit Dave's sister Carol and her family. His mom was there too, so we got to visit, exchange gifts, and tell our tales of Christmas morning with her as well. We had some stirum for breakfast and headed back home.

Audrey brought her camera to the Smith's and took quite a few good pictures.

  Grandma with her ShadowCase.

 Carol loves her new sewing machine.

 David reading his Kindle and eating toy sandwiches from Maddi.

The rest of the day was spent lounging and playing with all of our new toys. The kids built a fort with all of the boxes. And I think had more fun with that than with their toys. (They did get into their toys more when the box fort was put away for our family Christmas party.) I got a color laser printer for Christmas, and so I had tons of fun, for the next week, printing off Primary song visuals in full color. Dave got a golf pass and a rain check for a new laptop.

Even Swicey got a couple of new toys.

Audrey took this picture of our tree with her new camera.
