Christmas morning was glorious! The kids woke up at a semi decent hour: 7:30 am. We held them at bay until 8am and had them wake up the "big" kids (Hester, Hannah, and Karl), then they could open presents.

Isaac loved his metal detector from Grandma. Nate got a binary clock, among other things.

Aspen loved her scooter and is showing off some cozy slipper socks.


The ponies from Hannah and Hester were a BIG hit. And she got her requested candy necklaces from Santa!


Toby is very excited about his new computer game (everyone has been enjoying this gift!) And his t-shirt is self-explanatory.

Hannah and Hester

Karl got (and gave) a bunch of books - which he read (both the ones he got and gave to others) during the day.


It was a great day. When I asked the kids if the got everything they wanted, they all said, "YES!" So I guess this year was a success.

    I think we've only had 4 or 5 in the last 14 years. Sometimes we'd celebrate our own early christmas before going to be with others. I'll have to go back and look to know for sure. But it is always fun to be with other people for CHristmas.
