Christmas Morning!!

Tyler was our first one awake!! Brooke woke me up at 5:40 and so I was took her out to the living room to feed her. As I passed Tyler and Brandon's room, I glanced in their, expecting to see them sleeping peacefully. Tyler was sitting up in bed just looking around, I told him to lay back down and go back to sleep. I fed Brooke, and then got in the shower, by the time I got out of the shower, Tyler was in our bedroom, asking to go see if Santa ate the treats we left out. He wanted to make sure he really came! Brandon, Kara, & Emily had not even stirred at all. It was 6:00 now and Tyler had already got dressed and was ready to hit the presents!! I had Tyler help me bathe Brooke to kind of kill time while the others continued to sleep. He had fun with that, but he was then ready to get down to business!! At 6:40, we decided to wake everyone up and get down to business!! Tyler wanted everyone to get dressed since he did, so we got everyone dressed and then headed out!! As we were walking down the hall, Tyler announced to everyone, "Santa CAME!!!" Kara stopped dead in her tracks and looked at me with a concerned look and she said, "Well, is HE GONE?" Kara thinks Santa is a 'nice guy' but Kara does NOT want anything to do with him. I just laughed, but before Kara would move forward, I had to reassure her that Santa was NOT out in our living room.

Santa brought Tyler a remote control jeep, Brandon a remote control truck, Kara a baby and highchair, Emily a Leapfrog Doll, and Brooke got Diapers and Lotion. They were all tickled!! We really had a great Christmas and feel VERY BLESSED!! We are very grateful for this time of year that we have to reflect the Birth of Our Savior. We have enjoyed spending time with our family this Christmas Season.
