Merry Christmas!

These first few pictures were from the Sunday before Christmas.

Our kids have amazing self control... or amazing grandparents who kept them entertained till 7 AM. They had been up since 5:30 and mom and dad were tired (we stayed up too late).

What a treat to be able to watch the excitement on our kids faces as they opened their presents. The rest of the day they played and played. Luke got a light saber from his cousin and would not let go of it. The Force is definitely strong with this one. He also got a walker wagon and loves to walk around pushing it.
Kaelyn got a pogo stick and can jump up to 69 times on it already. She also got some books that she's already read by now I'm sure.
Annika really was hoping for a pink Dora the Explorer backpack with pink binoculars with jewels on them. I don't know how Santa found them, but he made this little girl very happy. She drags it with her wherever she goes.



Ian loved the science stuff he got (a test tube with growing color crystals and the microscope and telescope that was a gift for all the kids). He also got a lego set of Darth Vader and his ship.
We had a fun, relaxing Christmas day.
