Christmas morning did not disappoint this year! I told the kids not to wake me up before 7 AM. They were up though a little after 6, so Nick got up with them and let them watch tv while me and the little kids slept. Right before 7 they came in all excited and woke me up with a whispering "Merry Christmas". I got up and found Alivia was awake and as I was about to suggest we eat first while Preston was asleep, he came out of his room doing a cute little jog to meet everyone at the top of the stairs. He was one happy kid! I think he knew it was a special morning! So we headed down stairs to see what Santa had brought, with a quick stop for a quick picture.
Santa kept it pretty simple this year. Each child got a few things in the stocking, a box of cereal and a toy. Carson got his semi truck he has been begging for, Kaylee and Alivia got a real life doll set, and Preston got a fun vtech car track. They were so excited!
After we opened up all the gifts, we found two more under the tree for Carson and Kaylee. They opened them and were so surprised to find two new kindle fires!!! They each got their own. They were ecstatic! Kaylee kept telling me all day she couldn't believe it was hers and it was the best present ever! They came in handy for the drive down to Grandma's house later that day.
After opening presents, we finally had breakfast around 9. We had our traditional monkey bread and chocolate milk. We let the kid play while we got ready and packed to head to Holden. The best surprise and Christmas gift we all got was that it snowed! It snowed all day on Christmas and it was awesome. It hasn't snowed once this year so it was a much needed surprise! We have been playing in it since we got to Holden, so it was just such a treat!
