Christmas Morning

Bright and not so early on Christmas morning, Chan and I ran around and woke everyone up by jumping on their beds and telling them that "Santa Came!" - I'm thinking some were not so impressed. Lincoln still believes in Santa ;) So he was really excited to get up and see what was under the tree!

Yes, even Mom got some of the excitement!
We had just sat down to begin the gift openings when the doorbell rang and in walked THIS beauty! (I wish I had a picture of them coming in the door, but I don't). I haven't seen this cute girl since we were in Canada forever ago! Her Mom had just had a baby on Monday, went home from the hospital on Tuesday and packed the car and drove down to Utah on Wednesday. Talk about TROOPER! We're SO glad you guys made it!!! :)
Meet Austin...FOUR days old and already traveled to a different country! Cute isn't' he?!?This was the year of the dolls for Mady. She was SO cute, every time she opened one and saw it was a doll (still in the plastic and tied to the box) she'd bend down and almost hyperventilate as she tried to grab the doll through the plastic.Ok, this is a serious face...her actual reaction to the gift she just opened up! Merry Christmas!

What a fun Christmas! I've decided you need to move back to Utah. We are ALWAYS looking for friends to play games with and it's been a while since I've played Monopoly.
P.S. You really do deserve to be the "favorites" for your middle of the night sledding shenanigans.
