Christmas 2010

Ahhh, Christmas morning. So magical, so fun, so full of wonderment and excitment for these little kiddos.

They were good and waited till 7 to come downstairs, where they got into their stockings as they waited for Kevin and I to wake up.

I love stockings. I love that they keep the kids happy for awhile. They were a great idea!:)

Once we were up and going. Halli was in charge of passing everything out, she was beyond excited!

Seriously, is there anything more exciting than wondering what's inside all of those pretty packages? Maybe tearing into them, yeah, that's more exciting for sure.

See, look at JJ, can't you see how excited he is?:)

He was beside himself with excitement all morning watching the girls.

Okay, remember when I mentioned that Peyton really wanted the Tangled doll, and told Jessica that when she got the horse first? 

Well, here she is opening that doll. I LOVE these photos, and the pure joy on her face as she realizes what it is. 

Thanks grandma Shauna!:)

Another little girl was beside herself when she opened her very own pillow pet. She squealed and rolled around on the floor hugging it, so cute! I love that Lexie is so into christmas now.

Brenda and Alan came in the middle, and we ate breakfast and exchanged gifts with them, but I'm a lousy photographer sometimes and didn't get any photos with them. But we love their tradition of coming to our house in the morning, it's much less chaotic than doing all the families at their house.

After it was all said and done, the girls took off to play with new toys, leaving a huge mess behind for mom and dad to clean up.

oh wait, that's not all mess, I think I see a baby stuck in there somewhere!

Yep, that's a baby!:)

So much for cleaning up. I love lounging around all morning on christmas.

Before we all got ready for the day I gathered the kids together to get a photo of them in their matching pjs. I was impressed that I matched them all when adding a boy in the mix. I had to photograph it, cause I'm sure that's the last time that'll happen!

Plus, who wouldn't want photos of these cuties?

JJ got a Duke toy for christmas, and he actually loves it. It's a dino that sings a very annoying and repetative song, but it keeps JJ happy while he gets some tummy time. He needs it too, he's almost 6 months and still hasn't rolled over. I think he's just too big, and maybe lazy too, who knows.

While he watched his dino, the girls played with Duece and her new toy, a ball of yarn.:)

After all the festivities we headed over to Kevin's parent's house for a yummy dinner with the fam. I just love this time of year, and I love being able to have my family all to myself for a little while.
