I hope Santa found your house!

The morning of Christmas Eve we decided to go tubing at Tibble Fork. We went with Platt's, Mike and Lexi, Kevin and his daughter, and Jason. If the wind had stopped it would have been perfect weather. Our kids all did really good! They got tired of taking the tubes back up the hill. Na and K were unable to carry their tube up the hill but Ree and Vin did an excellent job!





We continued our Christmas Eve fun by delivering the treats we had made the day before to some of our friends. That night we had our Ham dinner then we did the Christmas story. This year we dressed up. Ree is Mary, Vin is Joseph, Na is an angel, and K is a shepherd. They love doing it!


After we read the Christmas story we got ready to open our presents to each other.


K opening his present from Vin:


To Na, from Ree:


To Vin, from Na: (can you tell he is excited!?!)


To Ree, from her Dad: (We had to tell her what it was then she got REALLY excited.)


Mine is from K:


I got to buy for him:


This morning the kids woke up between 7 and 7:30 am. They were really good and waited until 8:00 to come get us up.
Just getting started:


After they opened their presents they helped us open the family presents and our presents. I don't know what is more fun....getting a present or opening presents. Then we made waffles, bacon, and sausage for breakfast. Then after a little clean up it was time to open the boxes. What a pain! Do they have to make them kid and parent proof?

Some pics of the kids enjoying some toys:






Ree told us that she would be fine with just one present if it was a guitar. Well she still got more than just the guitar. Now she is waiting for Kevin to come teach her some basics. Kevin when are you coming over? Now? .............................................Or Now? ;D

We hope your Christmas was very enjoyable!

Merry Christmas!

P.S. If anyone was wondering, the snow storm barely brushed us. So much for the 6 to 12 inches! We were looking forward to more snow. :(
At least there was snow on the ground and there was snow flurries. We had a white Christmas!
