Our Family Christmas...

My sweet and awesome crew on Christmas morning!

The kids love getting a stocking full of fun stuff.  We always start with the stockings and spend a good amount of time looking through it all.  The girls got Star Wars figures that have a button that makes them make noise and shoot out candy. Kezzie also got a Luke Skywalker book.  Their stocking is where I put their new tree ornament.  Keziah got a donut (she loves to eat donuts), Adah got a Dorah ornament, Eden got a penguin and Austin got a fish with a tape measure on it.

Starting with the upper left corner: Austin received a nice Dremmel tool set.  He was pretty excited!  Keziah is 'helping' Adah open her box full of different bath toys.  Even Bella got some cuddles on Christmas morning! Eden is enjoying her bead drum. Eden patiently awaits Keziah opening her giant gift.  Below that is Austin had just opened his knife case to hold his collection of pocket knives.  Back over to the left is Eden enjoying one of her gifts and next is Adah enjoying her little people camper set.  Below those two pics is Keziah looking at all her Junie B. Jones books she got.  Next is Eden playing with her jack in the box Curious George. Eden enjoying her bead drum again.  Back down to the left corner is Keziah trying out her balance on the new balance beam that Austin made them.  And Austin is helping Adah test it out.  Keziah opened up her storage case for her American Girl doll and all her accessories.  And the big picture is of Austin showing the girls their new Star Wars sticker book that has TONS of stickers and character descriptions.  Which brings me to the next group of pictures...

The girls are VERY much into Star Wars as of recently.  This is the awesome case full of figures that Brian had when he was younger.  It's in the shape of Darth Vader (Adah's favorite character-weird, I know).  Both girls can name all the characters at the drop of a hat.  I don't know if I should be embarrassed or impressed, but this has been something the girls have really been able to connect with Brian on and for that reason I will continue to feed this new obsession!  Even if it's something I have no desire to learn!

The rest of the day...
We weren't really sure what to do.  I didn't have anything planned for a meal because I wasn't sure about where we would be that day since it was Brian's family's year to be together, but it turned out his sister and her family were going home that day and that's why we had Christmas together the day before.  So we decided last minute that we would head to CF and spend the rest of the day with my family.  My Aunt Cindy and Uncle Perry were in town with their four kids and there was going to be plenty of food and family and fun so we just couldn't resist!  The kids had a blast and I was so glad to be around my family for the day.  I think I walked in the door, took a deep breath and said, "Ahhh, now this feels like Christmas!"  Don't get me wrong...I LOVE being at home with my husband and kids and thought very hard about just spending the day at home relaxing with them, but there is something about being with your mom and dad that makes it feel so warm and cozy!  Not to mention have a good home cooked meal to share!  We came home later that night exhausted and feeling very thankful for our Savior's birth!
