Christmas Morning

What a fun Christmas morning we had this year. As usual we had to wake up the kids and surprisingly they were pretty happy even though they hadn't had much sleep. We always have a family prayer in my mom and dad's bedroom before starting all the chaos which is always a nice reminder of what the day is all about. Chalyn was so excited when she saw what Santa brought her that she ran straight to me jumping up and down saying "i got a bike, i got a bike, wow mom i got a bike". I was really glad she was so excited. And Beck went right up to his ball on the hoop and started shooting till we pried him away to open more gifts. They were both really cute and I loved watching their happy faces that morning. My favorite part was totally surprising Luke this year with a gun he had only dreamed about. He doesn't show his excitement very well he just gets quiet with a funny grin so when I saw that I knew I had done good. I spent a little more that our budget but it was totally worth it and he deserves it. I'm always amazed at how spoiled we all are and here are some of the things we each got.

Beckham-
Basketball hoop
car track
magnetic farm set
church clothes
cars, balls, bat, movies, books, etc

Chalyn-
Bike and helmet
ariel swim doll
belle doll
cabbage patch doll and diaper bag
pillow pet
Games, movies, books, etc

Luke-
Thompson Center "Bone Collector" Muzzleloader
duffle bag and other stuff for hunting

church clothes
clothes, socks, movies, etc.

Me-
clarisonic face brush (I really wanted it yay)
Nice perfume
Picture of Christ
Ipad cover
snuggie
scarf, clothes, movies,
-My parents gave me cake decorating stuff, a super soft blanket, and a really really nice knife set.

They totally took off as soon as we let them.

Chalyn with her bike and Beck with his basketball hoop. We really could have stopped there and they would have been thrilled.

She was sooooo happy!

Luke pulling out his gun. I put it in another huge box so he wouldn't guess.

This ten dollar toy was the number one thing that she kept asking for.

Beck and his cars

My brother Jason bought tons of way cool toys for the kids this year. He's the best.

This is one of those cool toys he bought that Luke and I played with forever. They are magnets that you can build all kinds of stuff with.

Chalyn riding her bike the day after Christmas. It's way too big but she actually does really good on it so hopefully she just grows into it fast.


After opening all of our gifts we ate yummy breakfast and hung out with the rest of my siblings as they came that day, but the best part was having it on Sunday and being able to go to Church. It was the best feeling to celebrate Christs birth the right way and for my kids to get to feel the spirit that day. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and know how much you all mean to us in our lives.
