The night before the kids made sure that Santa had his plate of cookies and a chilled glass of milk set out and Colton even wrote Santa a special letter for a little reading as he ate.
On the couch you can see the stockings and gifts from Santa waiting for the children to come eagerly in and unwrap their surprises inside.
The kids waited so patiently for Ashlyn to wake up. Their smiles and twinkle in the eye was such a delight and is what Christmas is all about and that is what made our Christmas so special.
Here we come, down the hall with great anticipation!!
Ashlyn is such a curious baby and she sure did examine each gift was detail. But of course the paper, boxes and ties were the most amusing part of the Christmas morning for her.
Colton was all smiles and excitement all morning long with lots of "YESS!" and "That is just what I wanted!" It was a heart warming treat to see and hear of his joy and appreciation.
The kids were good at taking turns and precious as they helped their baby sister open her gifts.
Sarah loves dolls, pretend and everything fancy. She quickly got decked out in her new dress up closes after she opened them on the web cam with Grandma and Grandpa.
After a wonderful morning, opening presents, eating a yummy big breakfast we got to feel close to our families even over the miles. We got on Skype and got to open presents with our Nana and Granddaddy, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Lora all over the webcam. Modern technology truly shrinks the distance between family and we were very grateful for that on Christmas day. Then we played a little more and we were off to have lunch with our friends, our California family.
There is nothing like family and friends on Christmas day.
