Christmas Morning

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. We told the kids they were not alowd to get up before 6 am. That meant, they had to stay in their beds until 6 am and they couldn't wake each other up, they had to wait till all 3 of them were awake. Only THEN they were alowd to go downstairs, open their stockings, and THEN wake up Mom and Dad. They were not supposed to wake up Sicily.

No surprise at 6:00 on the dot we heard them run past our door and hit the stairs. But we heard Sicily's voice in the mix. I was not very pleased with that but soon found out she'd been sleeping right outside our door on the stair landing. Funny little girl.

So after they made a TON of noise they burst into our room to let up know Santa had come and left a bunch of Gold presents.

We drug ourselves downstairs but didn't open presents straight away. We read the 3 Nephi story Christmas Eve so Christmas morning we decided to read Luke 2 before opening presents. It was really nice. The kids were rather quiet and with the beautiful Christmas lights on the tree, it made our Christmas morning really nice.

So after reading and a short little prayer we got down to business. Enjoy!

Sicily got a bunch of Little People play sets.

Aspen was excited to get a Fashion Design Projector Tracing kit with over 400 pieces in it.London's big gift was a Star Wars remote control Helicopter, where as Phoenix asked for some Roller Skates, not Blades. He wanted, "the skates with the 2 wheels side by side."

Nana sent us these cute little bugs that run around on their own. If they bump into walls their antenna let them know and they back up and turn around, supper cute.But the biggest family gift was this. Obviously the kids were a little excited!

We got Mario Kart, Disney Sing It (karaoke), Wii Fit Plus, and the regular Wii Sports. We have been having so much fun, and have already had to set a time limit on play time (that's for Jared, he's a bit addicted).
