Christmas Day

Oh man, there was some excitement in the house!  Mom woke up at 7:30 naturally and was very surprised she hadn't been woken up.  Downstairs, the four older kids were just hanging out and waiting.  With Mom's permission, all four kids ran up and woke everyone up so we could see what Santa brought.



Austin was excited about an electric toothbrush




Scott loves his new underwear!




Kate was pretty thrilled and excited to get a hoverboard


Scott and Dad worked to put together his new scooter.







One of the most special parts of Christmas is when the kids give their gifts to each other.  This year, each child gave to one younger.












After presents, we made the most gourmet breakfast.  Austin went outside and cooked bacon and sausage for everyone.  Scott and Dad made eggs, and Kate helped with pancakes.  It was even better then it looks!

Austin (with his new hat), Dad, Ty, and Scott played a game of Risk.


Mom and Kate worked on putting her house together while Logan sat close and played with all of his new toys.

That afternoon, we went to the church gym and played.  Dad even tried out Kate's hoverboard.

Logan loved getting a ride on Ty's new bike.

...and then abruptly changed his mind

Christmas was a very nice, relaxed day together as a family.  The kids all shared their toys and there really was a warm glow in our home.  It was a special one.
