Christmas Day

Everyone woke up around 6:00 at our house, but we were mean parents and made the kids wait until Bryce and I had showered. Usually I don't shower until after we open presents, but we had to be at Bryce's brothers for breakfast around 8:30. So about 6:45, we were ready to go see what Santa brought.

This is the kids getting the first look!

Ellie was excited about her new 4-wheeler!

Tyler trying out his new electric drum set. He also got a new bat and baseball bag.

Ellie and Grandma and Grandpa figuring out her new dolly. It actually pees and poops!!

Brayden by his new bike. Hopefully the snow melts soon so he can ride it.


Brayden also got some cool airplanes to go in his new room downstairs. His new room was also part of his Christmas presents this year.


This is a picture of the ceiling and wall in Brayden's new room. It has a vintage airplane theme.

Brayden and Ellie in his new room. He is loving being downstairs by Tyler!!

After we opened presents, we tried to clean up a bit before going to Jim and Brandi's for breakfast. We had yummy breakfast casseroles, fruit, and juice. Thanks again Jim and Brandi! After we ate we just hung out there and enjoyed being together. That is the part I love most about the holidays. It is all about spending time with family!

The kids enjoyed playing Rock Band on the Wii. All the adult went down to check out how good Seth was on the drums and we ended up playing too. The boys against the girls. I have it on video on my phone and I will try and get it downloaded. It is pretty funny.

After breakfast we came home and the kids enjoyed playing with their new things. I started to get us packed for Montana. We were leaving the next day to see my parents in Billings for a week. Overall, we had a great Christmas day. But I hate how fast that day seems to fly by.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I was spoiled by Santa too this year. He brought me a 40" flat screen TV for my bedroom. I had no idea he was getting me that. However, at about 2am Ellie woke up and I went to the kitchen to get her a drink and actually noticed the big box and saw Vizio on it. When I returned to bed, "Santa" wasn't too happy with me.
