Merry Christmas!

6 am wake up calls are not easy when you go to bed at 12:30- 1ish!  Evil mom that I am, I made the kids "try their hardest" to go back to sleep until 6:45, which they did because they really are quite good kids.  So fun to watch them leap down the stairs, filled with excitement!  I think Santa really did a great job this  year!  The kids were pleased and entertained for hours.  Anna received the entire collection of princess polly pockets, Grant and Dane found a foosball table and an air-hockey/pool table combo in the play room that really thrilled and surprised them!  Great for two boys who spend countless hours playing and competing together.  Evelyn received a karaoke machine-- one that will hook up to any mp3 device and with two separate controls for mic sound and music sound.  She LOVES that thing and it is so great to hear her practicing!  Other highlights were hot wheels race tracks, tons and tons of legos, laser tag, garage basketball hoop and soccer goals, rocket stomper, barbie princess collection for Anna, clothes and more clothes for Ev and lots of new family games!  It was a really fun Christmas morning..... we felt so blessed and full of gratitude for our healthy, lovely children and for the gift of our Savior.
