Christmas 2010

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year.
We kept busy with parties, activities, and more parties.
I was glad to finally come home and do "our" families Christmas.
This year we opened our Christmas book for the year, Penny's Christmas Jar Miracle, and enjoyed reading it as a family. Next we watched Joy to the World, and then read the account of our Savior's birth from The Book of Mormon.
Truly we felt the love of the season in our home, it was wonderful.
With the boys all dressed in matching pj's (thanks to grandma terrie)we were ready for bed.

The excitement of the night was so magically for our 3 boys. They talked about what Santa would bring them, how much food his reindeer would eat, and how they weren't tired AT ALL!!

Sleep finally found our home and was ended short when Tallon crawled in our bed at 4:30 wondering if Santa had come. We made him stay in bed with us until 5:45 and then we gave in and woke the other 3 boys up.
They were excited about the presents Santa had left for them...

and loved that Great Grandma Melanie came to open presents.

Tyler with is new wool coat! He also was spoiled with a calender and photo book about his Grandpa Taylor.

Tallon's loot consisted of: a drum set, movies, snowshoes, a leatherman, hunting clothes and movie, a football player, a new gun,Scentsy lion, slippers with new pj's, a new backpack, a coyote call, and a big game calendar.

Orrin and all of his loot: snowshoes, a new gun, backpack with a sleeping bag, hunting clothes and movie, Scentsy elephant, slippers and pj's, Leapfrog toy, Toy Story 3, and new truck and motorcycle.

Vivin's loot: backpack with sleeping bag, guns, truck and motorcycle, snowshoes, Shrek 4, slippers and pj's, Scentsy monkey, Leapfrog toy, and hunting clothes and movie.

Van totally got spoiled but doesn't have many pics for proof. That is what happens when you sit by the person running the camera. Van's treasures were: hunting shirt, music table, "tuggles", stuffed donkey, balls, wheeled animals, and a Scentsy lamb.

Mom was super spoiled with a new calendar, new picture frames for family pics, new socks, and 2 beautiful sweaters!
After all the excitement and play this is how our wonderful Christmas day ended...

do you think Scentsy is looking for some cute advertisement?!
