Kristmas 2010

My phone rang at 7:04 a.m., it was Roger telling me the kids were up and getting ready to come down the stairs to see what Santa had brought. I hurried up from the basement with my camera, just as Kade came around the corner. His eyes lit up when he saw the stockings all filled and sitting on the couch. He was the first to make it to his stocking. His face says it all. I love seeing him so happy!

We started the morning off by doing stockings...

...so all the kids dumped them out to see what all they got.

Kade was super excited about his candy Santa's
...his glow sticks

...and all his favorite stocking treats and toys he gathered up to cary off

Maggie enjoyed playing with her harmonica ...and then the boys had a blast playing with their growing creatures. You put a capsule in water and watch it grow into a sponge sea critter or circus life.

Then we all ate cinnamon rolls and our traditional egg sausage casserole for breakfast, before moving on to presents.

Michael and Kade played in the sled from my parents

Kade's top 3 gifts were...

1. His dragon Pillow Pet. It's a pillow and a pet lol

2. His garbage truck (when he could get it away from Briggs lol)

3. His laser top. You press the top button and it spins lights up and plays music. It even projects lights onto the ground.

They all enjoyed the top

They also all enjoyed Maggie's awesome ball pit. You throw balls up top and they spiral down into the pit. so fun!!! Michael got an awesome Nerf Machine gun that fires 3 rounds a second. Even us adults enjoyed it.

Pop got a beautiful hand painted glass Colorado ornament

Tiffany and Mom

Goofy Roger.

Kade lifting my weights. We can work out together little buddy.

He also got a super fun Real Construction Workshop kit, where he gets to saw, and hammer foam wood and make projects.

Then after all of our fun opening presents, Kade laid on his 2 favorite gifts as we watched Despicable Me.

I would say Christmas was a success!

It was so nice being with family. Colorado is a blast!
