Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!! We had a great day. First of all it SNOWED AGAIN this morning!! So we had a very white Christmas. All the adults planned on the kids waking up at 7am (their usual time) so we got up and ready before 7am. Then Sierra woke up about 7:15am and finally we went in and woke the boys up at 7:30am. They came running in to find out what Santa had let them. Ted got the I-Dog Dance that he asked for, Alex got the Radio Control Car that he wanted and Sierra got a play and learn table. They were all so excited, even Sierra. They played with those toys for a while and then they got their stocking and opened up the presents and found the candy in them. Ted got the pokemon cards he had been asking for, Alex got the Star Wars action figures he wanted and Sierra got a small purple Care Bear stuffed animal. The rest of us opened our stockings while the kids played with their new toys.

Then we had breakfast; Green Chili and Sauasage Egg Casserole, Sticky Bun Pull-A-Parts, fruit, coffee, tea, lattes and juice!!!! It was wonderful.
After we cleaned up breakfast the baby went down for her nap and the rest of us opened up our presents. The boys took turns opening up their presents and we opened up the presents that they made for us. They were so excited about all of the gifts that they received. Sierra woke up after we were done and she opened a few of her presents. (She ended up opening presents up over the next two days, she actually tore open the paper and pulled out tissue paper from the bags!) Ans Sierra got her very first haircut!! She had "wings" on the side of her head that needed to go, so Grandma cut her hair for us. She looks adorable!!!
Then we let the kids play with their gifts while we started making dinner. Then we all relaxed, played games and the kids took naps.
After naps we had dinner; Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, glazed carrots, peas, corn, Ham, scalloped potatoes, angel biscuits and carnberry salad!! We were all soooooo full after dinner. We watched some tv, played some more games and then we had dessert. Brad made Apple Dumplings and I made a pumpkin cake bar "Thing". It was wonderful!!!
