Merry Christmas

The day started out with the kiddos ready and waiting to open presents...bright and early!

It was finally time to see all the fun things Santa left for them. I was so excited for Kodes, since it was her first Christmas.

Everyone sure enjoyed all their gifts, and I felt very lucky we had a better year that we could get them a little more than last year. I think we only spent like $35 on each kid...gotta love the stores when they have amazing deals.

 Even Rhett got into the spirit, but he didn't have enough money to get them what he really wanted to. So he found toys of his own he didn't play with anymore, and wrapped them up for the girls. Ry got his old puzzle, Kenna got his Buzz Lightyear, and Kodes got an assortment of toy cars. I just love how big his heart is.

It was so fun to see how much Kodes loved opening gifts, though like most babies, she loved the noise of the paper more.

After we opened presents, J made his traditional breakfast...chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, eggs, and hot chocolate. It was so much fun to just relax and hear the kiddos excitement of the day. They were so happy and just talking a mile a minute. After we ate, it was time to get ready for Grandma and Grandpa's. It was fun to see everyone before they all had to leave for their in-laws.

I just loved seeing all the kids fun faces when they opened their presents. I must say, I have very pretty nephews and nieces.

After we opened presents, we ate dinner and started a game with Mom, Jason, Dawn, and Amos. Rhett was very adamant of joining us for Farkle. Though, I didn't think he'd understand, he actually won the game. He was quite proud of himself.
On our way home, we stopped by the lights at the Roy Fire Station, since we didn't do it yet this season. The kiddos loved seeing the lights, especially the Light Dance to music on the big pine tree.

Today was such an amazing day, filled with fun and a loving family. I feel so blessed to be a part of it and getting to see my kiddos so full of life was wonderful. But even the strongest of ones, sure wiped right out by the end...
