Our family Christmas

We celebrated our family Christmas on Sunday here at home. Since we'll be traveling on Christmas day, we wanted the kids to have a nice, easy going day here at home with their presents. Well - maybe not always nice and easy going. :)

Katie and Will picked out cookies for Santa on Saturday night and left them by the tree. Will couldn't really understand why we were leaving perfectly good cookies sitting out by the tree - he much rather would have just ate them.

Sunday morning we skipped church due to the cold weather and snow. I'm not sure how much we got over the last 2 days, but the blowing created drifts at least 7 inches deep. Once the kids got up they opened their Santa gifts right away.

Katie got "Computer Cool School." It's an interactive keyboard for kids that connects to the computer.

Will got a tool bench and a couple tools.

Then we ate breakfast, and took our time opening the rest of the gifts. John got the movie "The Dark Knight" and a pair of slippers. I got a beautiful pair of earrings, and new pan. We also got an Ipod Touch for the family to use...although John says I get to be in charge of it. :)

Will got a little train, some books, a ball, and a dinosaur. Katie got some Pixos (it's an art thingie), a spelling game, slippers, and a mailbox toy.

They played pretty well the rest of the day, although each were pretty territorial over their new toys. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
