Merry Christmas

For the first time in a long time we were all able to sleep in! I believe around 8am I heard the little pitter patter of feet coming down the stairs to check what Santa had left under the tree. They always go for their stockings. In my opinion the stockings were always the best.

good morning girlies!!

Poor Gabe had to use his dads stocking this year, but he did not mind. We had to wake Gabe up, I don't think he really knew what was going on yet in this picture. He was not quite awake.

Here is the one and pretty much only picture I got of Jake this year he would always dodge around me when he saw me coming around with my camera.

Emmalie was so excited to open up her camera. This was all she asked for this year. You can check out her blog in the near furture I am sure there will be some fun posts in the near furture.

Ella wanted pixos so badly she would say, when asked what she wanted for Christmas. She did quite a few projects and even shared with her sisters. She will be earning more pixos by doing a little extras around the house.

On the top of Olivia's list this year was art "stuff" Olivia, Zoe and Ella all recieved a bucket full of art supplies and stamps. They are having a blast with all of it!

Jacob recieved an XBOX 360 this year and was thrilled. Here are my boys playing their favorite thing. Notice the rifle next to Gabe, Jake got that for him, it was the best present in his eyes. Gabe also got a bat cave for batman. He plays with it all the time, even with his sisters.

Here is the remenants of our Christmas unwrapping, I wish I had captured all of it before some was cleaned up but whatever, I think this room stayed pretty messy for a couple of days.

Per Zoe's request we had homemade strawberry waffles for breakfast. They were so yummy! We had a nice and relaxing morning, some of us even got a nap. Later in the afternoon my family came back over for gift exchanges and a turkey dinner with all the fixins'
