We had a wonderful Christmas Day. The plan was to get up about 8-8:30 am to start opening presents, but at 9:20 am Dallan came in and asked when we were going to opening presents. It was so nice the kids let us sleep in. Dallan had been waiting patiently in his room, the twins were now just starting to get up, and the other girls were downstairs watching a movie. When we were younger, we couldn't wait past 7am to open presents.
We all made our way to the living room to see what Santa brought.
Shayla: an ipod docking stations, slippers, Alaska sweatshirt, music cds, books, game, lotion, fleece pj pants
Dallan: Shayla saved her own money and bought him an ipod (she wrapped it in a large box filled with his underwear, many layers of wrapping paper and duct tape. It is just like what Uncle Russ and Lee did. It took Dallan over 5 minutes to open it). He also got a game, fleece pj pants, duct tape, croc slippers
Kassidy: Since Dallan got an ipod and won't be needing his Nintendo DS and games anymore, he wrapped them up and gave them to Kassidy (she was shocked and thanked him with a great big hug, which he usually avoids but not this time). She also got a basketball hoop, croc slippers, fleece pj pants, a magic 8 ball, music cd
Addelyn: and American Girl Doll "Lindsay," a scooter for her doll and an outfit, croc slippers, fleece pj pants, chapter books, color books,
Tyler: Mack truck, cars, toolbox kit, train tracks, dinosaur hat
Kylee: a baby doll, squinkies, a penguin hat, a new game
Jerry: survival rope bracelet and zipper pull, tools, electric shaver, and a large moose print
Shelly: a new blender and food processor, clothes
It was great to be able to 'see' our families on Skype and share our Christmas with them as well. After presents and a wonderful Sacrament Service at church, we ended the night at the Shaw's. We sure miss our family who are so far away, but love spending our special times with our friends who live close by. We are so thankful for our wonderful Christmas.
