Christmas Morning 2010

What a wild a crazy Christmas morning! We usually hold the kids upstairs until I get the breakfast casserole in the oven and the adults are all set and ready with cameras poised. I was in the process of doing that when I heard footsteps running into the den. Then I was greeted with squeals of joy I have never heard in my entire life. Anna was in shock at what she saw and just kept squealing and jumping up and down. Marshall started videoing and then somehow Sam escaped the other adults upstairs and Anna started pointing out everything to him. Poor Jack was sitting at the top of the steps begging to come down so we finally let him in on the action.
It was so much fun watching their excitement! After playing with all the new toys, Sam and Anna took a break for breakfast with the adults, but Jack wanted nothing to do with food. We opened gifts until noon and had lots of fun laughing and enjoying Christmas morning through the eyes of our children.

The biggest hit for Sam was the box of packing peanuts!

We're opening up Jack's special gift for us that he made at school. He brought it home last week and insisted that we put it under the tree and wait until Christmas morning to open it. He was so excited about it!

Grandy is showing off the garden flags Jack and Anna made for all the grandparents at school this year.

Uncle Mason was such a trooper this trip because Anna could not get enough of him! She was so excited to see him an stuck by his side most of the time. She even shared her new princess chap stick with him.
