Christmas Morning

Santa did make it to our house this year! 

Before the kids came down to look under the tree...

The excitement as everyone headed down the stairs!

I love all the facial expressions captured on our new camera! 

Each of the kids took turns opening one present at a time around the room.  Katie was excited to get this lamp...only where is the rest of it?

Rebecca really tore into her presents this year and was such a joy to watch!

Emily was very excited to get her LPS!

All of the kids got bathrobes - here is Matthew doing his funky dance to show his off!

Katie's excited face when she opened her cellphone was the best to watch!  We made her open that gift last of course and it was well worth the wait!

I was very excited to get a new watch from Sam and a Ninja blender!

Here is Emily posing with all her new gifts!  She was such a happy girl and scored with her very own DS!

Here is Rebecca's score on Christmas gifts this year!  She still loves dolls and takes them everywhere she goes!

This is Matthew's big pile of gifts with his very own DS as the biggests highlight for him!

Katie's gift pile with her cellphone as her favorite!

And this is what we are going to see a lot from Katie - a lot of sass with her new phone!

Emily got a new Barbie makeup kit that we immediately put to good use!

Makeovers for everyone!

The girls sporting their new fashion style!

Rebecca helped me open my gifts

Matthew had fun opening his gifts

It was actually very peaceful after the gifts were all opened because Matthew and Emily both started playing their DS's in separate rooms quietly. 

We are so blessed to be able to share these gifts with eachother and thankful for the holiday season to draw nearer to eachother in love and friendship!

Merry Christmas to all!
