Christmas Morning 2011!

All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nick soon would be there!

Reagan was the first to wake up! She could hardly contain her excitement! She came in our room where David and I were sleeping and told us that Santa had come! She told us that he had brought her a PINK rip stick! Then she went back out to the family room. She inspected a little more and then returned to tell us what one of the other children had received. She did this over and over again until she had reported on each of the kids gifts one kid at a time! Finally we asked her to lay in bed with us until some of the other children were awake. She agreed to but it only lasted for a few minutes before she was begging to wake them herself. David must have allowed her to because before I knew it we had several of them up and ready to go!

Talan carrying his slinky dog from the night before
came down to find a Cars GeoTrax set!

Bradon took a quick look at his Modern Warfare wii game and then tried to play it cool like it wasn't that big of a deal. But we know that he was thrilled!

Carsten quickly jumped on his rip rider 360.
The great thing about Christmas this year is that the kids either asked for very little or nothing at all. So everything was a major surprise! We had no idea what to expect!

Isn't she lovely?
Yes I was bundled up in a blanket.
Keep in mind that I had very little sleep and was
fighting a cold that just about killed me!

Talan checking out his stocking!
A little tiny glass bottle of apple cider... So cute!

After the kids had all enjoyed their Santa stuff for awhile we began opening the presents from underneath the tree. Grandma Adair got Talan the Zurg gun that he threw a major fit about at the Disney store. He was SO EXCITED!!!! Talan is at the perfect age for Christmas!

But then Reagan is at a good age too!
She couldn't have been happier with her new ipod touch!

Ethan is growing up and he's more into adult like things. He got a cool new watch, an ihome and new clothes amongst other things.

Including this awesome Euphonium ornament!

Christmas was wonderful!
Everyone was pleased with all they received.

We all quickly got ready for church without a fuss and enjoyed a wonderful sacrament meeting filled with music sung by the choir. As we listened to the choir Talan told his Nursery teacher Brother Whittington who happened to have sat behind us every last detail about what everyone in the family got for Christmas. It was awesome!
