Christmas Morning

The kids got up bright and early (actually, it was definitely not bright, but it was early). They were so excited! Kids make Christmas so much fun. Before we went into the living room, we read the Christmas story from the bible so we could remember what Christmas is really about and what the greatest gift truly is. We have done it ever since Eryn was really little, so I guess it's our own little family tradition. Then we headed into the living room, and Santa had definitely been there. The cookies and milk we left him were gone. So was the carrot we left for the reindeer. In their place was a little letter from Santa. We always take turns opening gifts (atleast the first few). Here are the favorites:

The girls both got digital cameras and MP3 players... and both also got Webkinz, and a few other items. The boys both got Handy Manny, and Bryson got a remote control car and a Dr. Kit, and Hayden got some new Thomas tracks and trains, etc. Jared and I got a new light for over the kitchen table (bye-bye 80's ceiling fan!) and some DVDs, and Jared's favorite, Mayberryopoly!

We went to my parents for breakfast and gift exchange, and hung out there for a bit, then headed over to Grandpa Grace's for a visit. We had a GREAT Christmas!
