Merry Christmas!

We had a most wonderful Christmas, what can I tell you? It was beautiful. It took hours to open all the presents. Thank you to everyone for making our Christmas so merry :) Luke started the morning off at 6:05. He woke up Michael and I and wanted to wake up his brothers. We stalled him for a while. I got up to make the cinnamon and orange rolls (YUM!) and then decided to let Luke wake Kaden at about 6:3o or so. Kaden didn't want to wake up! That took about 10 minutes and Gabriel woke in all the fussing. They were all SO excited to see all the presents under the tree and their full, full stockings!Flash's stocking was full and she and her candy cane were inseparable for about 4 hours!
Merry Christmas puppy dog! After the stockings we decided, well Daddy decided, to go ahead and wake up sweet Josie Claire. She didn't know what to think at first but quickly warmed up to everything and LOVED opening her gifts! Her first one was her rocking unicorn from Mommy and Daddy! She absolutely loves it. Climbs on it and rocks away, when you press the ears the unicorn sings to you. Are you kidding me?! It's way too fun! I adore having a baby girl!!!
Gabriel desperately wanted a WALL*E toy from Santa and Santa delivered! This toy is a hit with everyone! He talks, that sweet little robot, ADORABLE!!!
Grandma Present pics:
Another of the boys favorites, light up-noisy-fun guns and sword. How can you go wrong with that?
Daddy and Josie. She gave him a Daddy's Little Girl picture frame with a picture of the 2 of them at Jackie and Thad's wedding. One of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! (I'll try and post a copy so you too can see!)
Sweet Princess:
Uncle Don worked his magic once again...a couple of years ago he made Michael a Raiders shield for his Raider room, it is gorgeous and Michael is still in love with it and shows it off every chance he gets! Well this year, Uncle Don gave Michael one of his world-famous :) American flags. Michael was pretty much floored. He LOVES it so! It is already hanging in our family room. Thanks Uncle Don!!!The calm after the storm...and before the clean up!!!

What a joyous day. Again thank you to everyone who sent cards and gifts. We love you all!

What a fun Christmas - I love the princess towel!!! I got your note about the card - we moved last year, so I didn't know if you had our current address. Shoot me an email and I'll send it to you. dklowther@kc.rr.com
