Christmas Morning

I know, Christmas was two weeks ago. I actually got chastised by my mother today for not doing this sooner. Sorry, Mom!
We told the kids that they were not to get up until 7am. We did not want to hear their voices until 7am. However, Richard started "Ho! Ho! Ho!"-ing at 6:30, so that's when we got up. Our family got a Wii system with me getting Wii Fit and each of the kids getting a game from Santa. We were all very excited about that. We started with everybody taking turns opening their presents so that we could all ooh and aah over their gifts. However, by the time we were about half-way through, it was more of a free-for-all.
The kids were all pleased with their gifts. Tristan's favorite was the boots and bindings for his snowboard. Samantha's was her Littlest Pet Shop Tail Waggin Fitness Center. Zach was really excited about his GeoTrax Fly By Bridge, that is, until he found out that the plane wasn't included. (Mommy should really read the fine print!) There was alot of squealing and hugging. Samantha usually being the most enthusiastic. Mayzee was pretty excited about her rope toy. As you can see from that picture. Everybody go ta good laugh from watching her writhe in pleasure.
After gift giving time was over, we all enjoyed a tasty egg casserole dish that Pam had made for breakfast. Then I snuck upstairs for a nice little Christmas Nap. All in all, it was a great Christmas.
