Christmas Eve started out with us going out to dinner and watching a movie at home while the kids opened up their Christmas Eve gift of new P.J.'s We then did the Scripture story of the birth of Christ and sent the kids to bed. They didn't get to sleep until 1045pm because they were too excited for Santa. Then the morning came and what a morning it was. It started out at 5:45AM as the kids ran out to see their gifts from Santa Claus. Cameron was excited for his bow & arrow, but wanted to know where all the other gifts were that he asked Santa to bring. We had to explain to him that Santa has to take gifts to a lot of boys and girls. Fortunatley he bought it! Taiylor was ecstatic for her American Girl and she has carried it everwhere with her since she got it. Brinley was a little unsure of the whole thing til she got into her stocking and found juice, gum, and candy then she was in seventh heaven. She got the idea of opening presents really quickly as she watched her siblings. The picture of Travis out in the garage was where I had to put his gift because it was too big, I even suprised him this year YEAH!! Unfortunately Christmas morning went by too fast, as I had to go to work at 10am. Nevertheless, I am so grateful for the morning and the memories we were able to build! Merry Christmas.

Caroling for Christmas '09
The kids wanted to go caroling for one of our Christmas activities and they had a blast. We went to about 5 neighbor homes and they would pick the song to sing. Brinley got the hang of it after about the second home and she would run from car to house just smiling. The kids really liked it when the neighbors would let us sing then they would give the kids their neighbor gift. (typical children) Caroling isn't Travis favorite, but he was a good sport and also smiled the whole time. We ended our night with some hot chocolate. Love Christmas traditions!
