Christmas Morning 2009

Christmas was such a great day for us. I must say, it was one of those days you just want to bottle up because everything went so well. I just had so much fun watching the kids get so excited about everything. It was nice to just relax all day and play, play, play!! I stayed in my pj's all day long. I got most of our packing done for Utah on the 23rd for that very reason, so I could relax and enjoy the day. I always feel sad when Christmas day is over, I want it to come sooner than 365 days later!

Daven was exstatic when he saw what Santa brought him. The Lego Star Wars X-Wing. He changed his mind a few weeks before Christmas claiming to want a DS. (I think a few of his friends were asking for DS's). But, he seemed really excited. Later he told me, "I think Santa must have known that some other kids needed a DS, so he brought me the X-wing instead. I'm really glad." Boy, Santa sure is smart.

Avery got the cutest little stroller/walker you've ever seen in your life and a baby doll.

Logan's still a bit groggy in this picture.

Here he's perked up. He got a fire station. And played with it All.Day.Long!

Papa Pehrson. For some reason, I don't have any pictures from last Christmas of him, so I had to be sure to get some this year!

Avery opening her first present. She was over-whelmed after the Santa toys. She didn't know what was going on. She was a little fussy that morning because of it.

Logan playing with his fire station. Serioulsy, Santa is soooo smart!!

Mike is the designated Lego person. I think the boys get tired of me helping them with Legos. They are always saying, "mom, you're doing it wrong." So I gave up a long time ago. Mike helped Daven put together the X-Wing. It didn't take 5 hours like the Police Headquarters Legos from last year. PHEW!

Ta-Da!

We took the kids out to ride their new scooters in the Moore's culdesac right by our house. Avery rode the little bike. She surprised us at being mobile on it. That girl is a wild woman.

The boys loved their scooters.

If you look closely, you can see Daven's toungue sticking out as he's concentrating so hard.

The Moore's came out to say hello. I had to take a picture of Ashlyn in her pink shoes, pink purse and cell-phone. Although, Shauna's girls kept falling down because my kids were getting them all riled up. I felt so bad. But, it was still fun to see them for a few minutes.

Kayla testing out the scooter. Sorry Shauna for all the bruises.

The day was a huge success. This is my favorite picture. Logan fell asleep around 9 p.m. on Papa's lap. He just couldn't stay awake any longer after a day of so much fun.

The Brooke's came over for dinner. But, somehow, I don't have any pictures of that. Sorry. But I am still feeling so thankful for such a great day.
