Merry Christmas

We were up and ready to open gifts at 6 am! Not to bad I was actually the first one out of bed (not really sure why?I think I have grow accustomed to the sleep deprived, zombie feeling!) Malerie was awake in her bed and Braydon was just getting up, we woke Keaton and Kiley up and had to drag dad out of bed! It is so fun watching the kids come downstairs and see all the gifts under the tree and see what Santa brought them. I love the magic and excitement of kids on Christmas morning. The kids draw names and exchange gifts every year so we let them do that first and then they checked out the stocking action. The girls scored bikes from Santa, and are looking rather sporty on them especially in their cute jammies!! Santa hooked Braydon up with an Ipod touch and Keaton a Nintendo DS and Indiana Jones game! We also hooked the family up with the Wii fit which is one of the funnest games ever. Can you say SPOILED!!!! It was such a relaxing, fun morning. We spent the rest of the morning playing with their new loot and putting things together etc! I made some yummy, homemade waffles with all the fixings which we practically had to force feed to the kids because they were to busy playing to be bothered to eat!

Later in the day we got cleaned up and made our way over to Aubrey's to visit the Wright side of the family and see Missi and her kids and G&G Wright who came down from Utah for the Holidays! We don't see them very often so this was a special treat! Aubrey's house was toys and game central. They scored a wii fit also so everyone had a turn trying to beat the high scores!
Aster spending a few hours with them we headed to Uncle Darins house to have some dessert and see the Perkins Cousins.
What a full day and it truly couldn't have been nicer! Most people are relieved when it's over but I am one of those weirdo's that gets sad. I love the Christmas season, all of the traditions, the special feeling we have in our hearts, the magic, family, everything about it! It comes and goes way to fast, but I guess there's always next year to look forward to!
