Christmas

The magic of Christmas lives on thru watching your children!

Traditional picture on the steps…

(When we asked Elliot if he wanted to go see if Santa came, he promptly ran to the kitchen, got a spoon from the drawer, then said ‘show santa the spoon!’. So sweet he thought Santa would be waiting downstairs! And the boys were CLINGING to their pillow pets they had received from the Great Hunsakers the night before)

Here’s the room:

(The BIG tramp was a gift from santa)
And the kids got to come in one at a time, oldest to youngest.
How did the kids react? Elliot walked in,

Ignored the tramp, and went straight to his red car from the night before.

Truman was excited

And so was Tucker.

They took a little jump on the tramp,

Then started opening presents.


At this point, Elliot decided he better take a try on the ‘jump-o-line’

Lorelei slept thru all the noise,

Then Elliot finally settled in to open presents.

After the kids had opened all the presents (Including wii-motes and wii games– the kids didn’t notice we were missing one present…)
Then Dad found that present under the tree, and I wish I would have video taped the kids reaction, you can kind of see Tucker’s in the picture below.


They were so thrilled to finally get a wii! (After asking santa for THREE years in a row!)

We headed upstairs, set up the wii, and played the rest of the day, Put together a few lego kits

and Elliot sat in his car a majority of the day. Any time Lorelei was awake, he’d say ‘come here girl, get in the car’

Pretty cute.

We later opened family presents (a handmade christmas, the boys all made presents for their siblings, and us as parents..it was truely beautiful!)
A stuffed animal tent

Sock Monkey

Paper Crane

Tissue cover that looks like a Monster

(And not shown: Hair clips for Lorelei and I, Puzzle for Elliot, and x-mas ornaments)

We stayed in our jammies all day, and had a DELICIOUS dinner together.

What a glorious day!
