I love Christmas! I love the excitement in the kids eyes when they walk up the stairs. I love the smells of Christmas. I love that we get to spend time as a family, and with all of the people we love! Ohhh… I just look forward to Christmas all year long.
The kids were all nestled snug in their beds between 8 and 8:30.
We weren’t so lucky that next morning… it was 5:20am when we were all up and going!! We did have a little incident with Miss Addi at 11:10 {notice the time the picture was taken below}. She walked upstairs, so sneakily and quiet, and we didn’t hear her until it was too late… Jason ushered her downstairs, and then ushered her right back up because she said “I saw something Dad!” We told her that we woke up because Santa was making to much noise, and was surprised to see that he had already come and gone. She just missed him. She was sad about that, but happy to see what he left for her. After a few minuets of excitement she was back asleep in her bed!

I think Santa got them everything on their list this year…

Santa left the kids this letter, with the half eaten cookies, and the drank milk…

Even Christopher left the kids a note, and said he hopes he gets to come back next year. We weren’t expecting him to be here. We had all said our goodbyes the night before. He wanted to watch the kiddos open presents, and see what Santa brought them. He even left us a box of Orange stick, and Raspberry sticks to replace the ones he ate! Miss you Christopher!!!


Opening presents…







Then it was time for the last two presents! Every time we asked Addi what she wanted for Christmas she said “A little puppy!” She was so excited when she saw this little 1 pound pup…

They were all speechless. It was so cute.


Meet Paige. She is our little Yorkie. WE LOVE HER!!!!! She is so cute, and so much fun. It was such a fun surprise for Jason and I.

I was trying to take a picture of just how tiny she is… She can barley reach the top of this pop can.

Then it was Bridger’s turn. When we asked him what he wanted he said “A mod snowmachine!” Not asking much is he? Well, this is what he opened. A throttle cable. Jason told him that it would help him go faster, and to go try it on his sled in the garage…

This was waiting for him… He was so excited! He couldn’t believe it.

I can’t tell Jason THANKS enough for working so hard to provide for our family, and give them the Christmas of their dreams!!! I love you so much Honey. You amaze me daily. Merry Christmas!!!
Now we are off to Jackson to spend the day with our family…
