Christmas Day

 After a long night of trying to sleep, the kids did really well of staying in bed til 6.  Last year they were up at 3am down stairs looking at all their loot.  This year, we cheated.  We put up the baby gates and told them they were up to keep Eva out of Santa's treats.  Hehehe.

Katy loved her "BABY".  Norma got her asked for Easy Bake Oven and the boys got some really cool scooters with license plates that say, "BOYS RULE" and "2COOL4U"  Bet you can guess who got what.

 Katy didn't want a thing to do with any of her presents.  She just wanted the baby.  She loved that the baby had a "baba" and a binky.  We basically opened her gifts for her and when she saw a new baby stroller she had to put the baby in it.  Then she opened the diapers and wipes that I made for her babies and she had to change the baby's "bum".  She was so cute!

 We managed to make opening presents last for over an hour.  They got to play for a bit and then they ate breakfast fast and we headed to church.

 This is the bed set that my mom gave to Katy.  She is getting better about pictures and was saying "cheese" and showing me her favorite part of Christmas.  She loved putting the baby to bed and spinning the mobile for it.

 After a very long hour of church were Nate and I took turns with Katy out in the hall, we came home, changed and played for a bit before Grandpa and Nana showed up with a few more gifts.  The kids were happy to have the bears that they had gone and made with Grandpa and Nana and loved showing them all the fun things that they had gotten.

There was one up side to having a green Christmas, the boys got to try out their new scooters.

 I think they are going to have a companion come summer when they go riding.  Eva would stay right by them.

They only got to ride for a bit before we were in the car and headed up to see my brother John and his wife Celest.  We took up dinner and had a great time visiting and hanging out.  It was so nice to be together as a family.  We were only missing Jeremiah.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday as much as we did!
