Merry Christmas!

It was a very Merry Christmas at our house this year!

Our kids are getting older, but they still put up with our requests, it's tradition!

Christmas Eve PJ's

Our Christmas Eve gift this year was a fun new game. It was pretty silly.

Santa is extra busy at our house, not only does he set out gifts and nibble the special cookie left out just for him, he builds a barricade each year keeping the kids in their room. No peeking at this house, guaranteed.

Christmas morning is always so much fun! Dad surprised us all with new backpacking gear! We are looking forward to using it all this Summer!

Our sweet neighbor Vickie gave the kids thoughtful gifts. I'm amazed at how well she did, they all were thrilled with the perfect gift she gave to each of them.

Austin was so excited to get a Wii U. He hugged it!

Linsey was thrilled to get a new phone!

I'm not sure what Hunter is doing, but he was really happy about these new shoes!

For weeks, Austin was wrapping gifts for our family. No one knew exactly what he was wrapping. At one point, I took him to the dollar store to pick out a few gifts which he quickly wrapped that same day, and then continued to wrap more of his mystery gifts right up until Christmas morning. It was so fun to open each of these thoughtful gifts. Most of them were notes, a few coins, decorated cards, all super special and right from the heart. We sure love sweet Austin!

Lots of great surprises Christmas morning. Loved watching my kids and their excitement!

Another fun surprise!

We moved the ping pong table inside and played for hours and hours day after day for weeks!

We planned a fun trip to Disneyland in February, but decided to surprise our kids on Christmas morning with the news! Everyone was thrilled, but Austin was especially excited!
