And it was another fabulous day, even though it felt a little empty without Avery and Alyssa. But, we did enjoy having Tim, Jill, Quinn...
and my mom and dad over. We opened presents, ate a yummy breakfast (Thanks Tim!!), played games, ate, played with new toys, and ate some more.
Dax loved his stocking...he was so cute digging in it. He was pretty much in awe the whole day, enjoying all the ribbons and wrapping paper. Which was good since he only got 1 present...ahh to be the fourth.
Drake loves his pirate stuff,
Owen loves his Carter's ice cream shirt...if you haven't heard this story you just haven't spent enough time with Owen (I am pretty sure everyone has heard it 3 times, since I have heard it well over 100).
Hadyn loves her princess microphone, this was her gift from Santa that was hidden in the dryer. For some reason she came out with it before we had even opened stockings!!! What kid is looking in the dryer Christmas morning??? Needless to say Taryn and Drake quickly searched for their Santa gifts too...so much for the darn cute poems Santa wrote.
And Taryn loves her furreal kitty. She wanted another real cat but since once was enough for me...this was the next best thing. She seems pretty content.
Time seems to pass all too quickly and we once again didn't send out Christmas cards this year. But we are grateful for all of our wonderful friends and family. We are so blessed and are constantly reminded of that everyday! We hope you all had a wonderful christmas too, and wish you the best for the coming new year!!
One for love!!!!
