A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas morning began with Paul's delicious cinnamon rolls, and then we looked in the stockings.

Brandon had asked for glue sticks.  Wish granted!



The kids were excited to have each other open the gifts they'd made:


Emily made these bracelets for Nicole

Nathan made this pencil holder for Brandon. 

Scrapbooking supplies from Grandma


Looks like a hockey stick from Paul...


A cane!  Just what I always wanted!

A play phone for Nicole form Grandma

 
A boom box for Emily


Soft puppy for Nicole

Twist & Tumble Cargo Drop for Jacob (Thomas & Friends)

Emily made this ornament for Brandon

Nathan made this book for Emily

Grandma & Grandpa sent Nathan a calculator

Camera for Brandon from Gma & Gpa

Nicole likes this computer that Jacob got.

 WE TOOK OUR TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS WALK:

(I recommend you double-click on the first one and view all of these in slideshow mode to see them bigger)




















Nicole was running in circles and Jacob was afraid she was going to run off into the ocean.


Me and my kiddies.

What a beautiful family. It's so different seeing a warm Christmas verses our freezing snowy one. It looks like a fun vacation.
Love you all lots.
