Christmas 2008

We had a very nice Christmas. The kids didn't even wake up until 7:30 a.m. Wow that was sure nice! They were all excited to see that Santa had brought them the special things that they asked for. It was so fun for us to see how excited they were. We let the kids go at their own pace on opening gifts this year. It was great......they actually took a long time to do everything. They played with the Santa gifts and then opened the other things..........they took their time playing/ looking at what they got. Santa brought Keaton a digital camera (he has been Mr. camera man), Talon got a Bumble Bee transformer, and Carter got a little keyboard.

Here they are checking out what Santa put into their stockings. Carter couldn't figure out what was going on with all of us.......he had a good time though. Rick decided to take his own picture.

We gave Keaton a Batman house (he was crossing his fingers he would get this), Talon got

Gorilla Mountain (he was screaming......Gorilla Mountain, Gorilla Mountain, Gorilla Mountain!!!!)

and Carter got a cute little bike (he had more fun walking with it than riding it). Rick is sporting hi Super Hero comic jammies.The older boys made Rick and I gifts at school. Keaton made a wreath ornament out of puzzle pieces that were painted green. Talon made us a self portrait. What sweet little gifts, they are always my favorites!!

Rick's parents also came over to share Christmas breakfast with us. We had a nice visit with them.
