I'm pretty lucky to even have pictures to post with this blog entry. I accidentally erased all of my pics off of my camera. I was so sad! Luckily, our good friend was able to get them off of my sim card. Whew!
Our Christmas started bright and early this year. Not that we are not up pretty early every year, it's just this year Morgan had to work all day Christmas. Booo! Morgan goes in to work at 4:15 am until 4:30 pm. So he was gone all day! We decided to get the kids up at 4 to open gifts. 4 sounds early, but before a guy at Morgans work let him know he could come in at 6, we were actually going to get up at 3!
The kids didn't mind getting up early at all. I mean Santa had come!
Bailey got a guitar from Santa. And boy did she run to see it.
Logan always has such dramatic facial expressions in all of his pictures. This one captured exactly how excited he was to get...........
Nope, not this bike, but he saw his new bedding. (We got everyone in the family new bedding) The boys got Utah bedding! Logan ran past his new bike just to get to his Ute bedding. True Ute fan. Wonder where he gets that from?
Santa brought Carson a remote control Lightening McQueen.
Avery got a princess scooter.
This box of princess barbies was seriously taller then she was.
Avery took her time opening her gifts so her pile got pretty backed up. The other kids were finished opening all of their gifts, so they went over and helped Avery with hers.
I wanted to get Morgan a Kindle Fire for Christmas but I didn't want him to know about it before Christmas. So I called my sister in law and had her order it under her Amazon account. When Morgan opened his gift I'm not sure if his facial expression was the, I'm going to kill you look, or THANKS!! He was so surprised!
I'm going to say it was the THANKS look.
He he. Another Logan face. He opened his Utah hoodie.
One of the things Bay wanted for Christmas was
Just Dance 3! I have to say that Bay was the hardest to shop for this year. She isn't really
into anything like in years past. Like littlest pet shop or High School Musical, so I had to get creative. She got a lava lamp, a digital diary and a curling iron, crimper and straightener. Man we are moving into the teenage years quickly!
After opening gifts dad was off to work. It was really sad for everyone. It was so weird not having Morgan home to put together toys or eat Christmas breakfast with us. I did make him and his guy friends at work homemade biscuits and gravy. And boy was it delish! I think we may have found a new Christmas breakfast.
After breakfast the kids and I got ready for church. Let's just say it was a long day! Thankfully, church was only an hour, so we were able to squeeze in a nap before grandma came over for Christmas dinner. I made a ham, mashed potatoes, and the fixens. And best of all Morgan was able to be home for dinner. Thank goodness he doesn't have to work any major holidays in 2112!
