Our Christmas morning started super early! Our kids were up before six, and were ready to open presents! Kaley was the last awake - and you can see it in her eyes. I'm sure she'll love these pictures when she's older. *Note to self: pants under nightgowns for pictures on the stairs. :)
I have a serious love/hate relationship with Christmas morning pictures. It is super dark outside, so so outside light to help with lighting. Everyone is a moving target, making for many blurry pictures. I hate using the flash - I don't like the way the pictures look. But I LOVE to capture the kids faces! So bear with my amateur photo skills.
Truly magical morning.
Santa brought Thomas a new RipStick.
Santa brought Bella a Doc McStuffins doll and Dr. kit.
Santa brought Sophie a new bike!
Jace got a new bike from Santa too!
Kaley got a super cool mountain bike (with gears) from Santa!
Yep, still don't like the way the pictures look with the flash - it seems like I try at least a few every year to see if it's changed. :)
Jace asked for a lasso for Christmas this year - he is obsessed with ALL things cowboy!
Nerf guns for the boys.
I got the girls new back packs - a messenger style one for Kaley and Doc McStuffins ones for the little girls.
Legos
Kaley got her own magnet board calendar for her room.
Our girls LOVE this show! It was a Doc McStuffins Christmas!
Jace got a race track - that we ended up taking back and buying a different one. This one didn't work the way it said it would.
Bells is my little colorer - she could draw and color all day.
T was thrilled with his Bey Blades - something I had to look up when he asked for one. When did I get "that" old?
Kaley opening her art kit.
Roller blades for B! Now she can join in the basement fun!
An air compressor for Josh! Now he can get started on the list of projects I have for him! ;)
Christmas morning chaos - I love all the wrapping paper and cute jammie kids.
Sophie got right to work playing with her Doc doll. They are singing to each other and talking. :)
A little later, we headed up to Sandy for some more fun!
Grammie and Pops gave the little kids these cute stuffed animals from the Doc show.
New basketballs for the big kids.
A new watch for Kaley.
Spiderman shirt!!!!!
Legos!!!!
Josh got a chain saw!!!
We had Dani and Dave this year. We got Dave a drill. He's thrilled! (He is laying on the couch because he had an accident the day before. My family went to a trampoline place, and within 10 minutes of being there, Dave broke his foot/ankle/leg. It was bad. He ended up having surgery the day after Christmas and will be in a cast/boot for 10 weeks. Not an awesome thing for that boy!)
Josh and I made Danielle a magnet board for her home. They recently bought a new home, and are expecting a baby in June! I couldn't be more thrilled to FINALLY have a sister have a baby! :)
We kids bought Dad a scope for golf. He was pretty excited!
Dani and Dave had us this year, and they gave our family a basketball hoop!
Thomas wanted to open it and set it up right then!
We gave Mom a canvas picture from Redfish.
We love playing with Brookie Bear any chance we get! It's crazy to see my BABY playing with Brooklynn. It's cute to see these kids play with baby cousins.
When we got home, everyone scattered to their own corners to play with toys and put things together. Jace and Thomas put together legos for quite a while. Cute brothers!
We were truly blessed this year! So many fun memories for our first Christmas in our new home. It was fun to choose where all our decorations go, where our tree will go, and how we will do our traditions in our new home.
