CHRISTMAS DAY

We had a really good day here celebrating Christmas at home with just the 5 of us. Our morning started at 2:52am when the kids woke up for the first time. Between 3am and 6am they were up another couple of times and then finally at 6am we all ventured downstairs.

It was really so much fun how excited the kids were first thing in the morning.....and pretty much the whole day long!

Of course we started with presents.....

Maleah checking out her stocking and so excited about the Nerds that Santa left......

Cameron got his much wanted and asked for Nerf Raider CS-35 from Santa (I'm now trying to figure out why Santa thought that a nerf gun that holds 35 bullets and does "rapid fire" was a good idea)......

Cameron was not quite as excited about the jeans, shorts or pj's that he got.....

Rena loved everything including her new compact mirror with her new purse and lip gloss......

The girls got many new outfits. They are feelin' good and lookin' good......

.....Rena picked out her new boots and Maleah picked out her new "Sketcher Stomp" shoes.....

We tried out Rena's new Easy Bake Oven this afternoon (the hat doesn't really fit, but it looks cute)......

Cameron spent the whole day playing with his new Rokenbok set.....

Jeff made us a great dinner and while he was busy in the kitchen.....

.....Rena and I did some dancing with the new Wii game, Just Dance 2, that Santa brought.....

.....while Maleah did some napping (apparently the sleepless night caught up to her).....

Time for dinner.....yummy prime rib and sides.....

After dinner we did some more dancing.....and even got Cameron & Jeff to join in.....

We also ended the night with some dessert and a couple of games of Uno Attack, which Santa also delivered. It was a really fun day here at home. We got some great gifts, spent the day together and spent over an hour on the webcam with The McCullough's at home in Puyallup. Even though we weren't all together I feel very blessed for my whole family and look forward to 2011 when we will get a chance to be together again!

We had a great Christmas season and are now looking forward to a Happy New Year!
