Christmas Day

December 25, 2009

After a perfect evening and some actual sleep, the big day finally came. Dave wanted to wake up the children, but I thought if they are sleeping, let them sleep. Dave is harder to keep contained than the kids on Christmas. Love it. We called Grandma and Grandpa Brown and they came over to watch the kids. When we went downstairs Grandma Carlson informed us that Brianna crawled into her bed and they shared stories until it was light outside. We forgot to tell Brianna that she could wake us up on Christmas morning. Grandma said that they had fun. I know the kids love to sleep with there grandparents, when they go over to Browns they get to sleep with Grandma and Grandpa. When everyone was awake we opened the big red sack. The kids took turns opening up their gifts. Kameron loved his bubble gum machine, he would have been ok with just that. Brianna and Kyle loved everything. The day before they thought Santa might give them 10 gifts each, I told them that was probably to much. It was fun to listen to them talk and be all excited.

We just wanted to post all of our gifts so we could remeber the day we recieved them. We were so blessed and are thankful to everyone. Aunt Fay also spoils everyone in the family each year, she is an amazing woman. After opening gifts we had a delicious breakfast sugar cereal Kyle chose Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Brianna Captain crunch, Hash Browns, Toast, eggs, bacon, bannana bread. We then went down and the adults opened gifts. Mom and Dad took off to Farrah's and we played toys and rested until 2:00. At 2:00 we went to the red house grandma and grandpa's. We opened gift's there, we were so spoiled, then at an awesome dinner ham, twice baked etc. We just enjoyed each other's company. After dinner Dave had the privalege of putting together the playmobile, it only took about an hour. It was quite a complicated little toy. Kameron layed in grandma and grandpa's bed. I went in to check on him to see if he was ok. He was lying right between them and put his hand up and said I'm fine. It made me laugh. So I went to the kitchen and Kyle, Brianna and I played with the Magic dots. It was another perfect day, thanks to everyone.
