Christmas 09 was a hit! Caleb woke the family up at 1:00 am begging to go and see if Santa had been there yet. After telling him, "No! Go to sleep!" every hour for the next several hours, he finally feel asleep at 4:00 and didn't wake up again until 6:45 (not bad for us, our kids usually wake up at 6:30 anyway).
Everyone must have been good this year because Santa brought what was on each one of our wish lists. Caleb's main gift was a bike, Sam a Nintendo DS, Sophia a stroller and doll, Vanessa a fancy dancy purse and clothes. I must have been extra good because Santa brought me a new lens for my camera (yippee!). Poor Josh must have been the only naughty one because he didn't get too much (sorry honey, I will be better next year!).
Christmas day was filled with wii games, ds games, board games, lots of good food, and our favorite Christmas movie, Elf.
We were so blessed to have such a wonderful Christmas!
I loved this little doll and had to get it for Sophie. It stayed cute for about 2 days before Trench got a hold of it and gouged one of its eyeballs out. :( Sophia was so cute with her baby and stroller she didn't stop pushing it all day. I have to admit that because she was so cute, the camera was on her most of the day and the rest of the family was slightly neglected.
Sam playing his new DS which he loved! Caleb on the other hand, liked his new bike but was more interested in everyone else's gifts. He was very grateful for what he got though. On Christmas morning he even reminded Sammy when Sam thought Santa had forgotten his DS that it was okay, "you don't always get what you ask for."
