Christmas 2009

The night before Christmas when all through the house not a kiddo was stirring - just Adults playing Cards... On that Christmas Eve, after getting home from Vernon, we all got to open one present!

Kate got her wings
Awakened by 8 (no earlier!!!) Christmas morning, waiting on the stairs while Dad prepares and makes us all wait!!! Erin, Liam, Matt and Nana and Papa spent the weekend here too!!

The wait is over, they rush to see the loot

Kate was not very happy yet, she had thrown up the last two nights :( She perked up real fast when she saw her pretty dress ups, shoes, and play dough she got

Drew got what he asked Santa for!Isaac was happy too!This kid is into Legos!!!
Elle was all about the clothes this year!! She got 3 pairs of "skinny jeans" and some dresses and Santa brought her a Fashion Design sewing kit for clothes!! Liam got some cool toys and Erin got a snuggie!!!

The Thomas family doing their skit/song
Everyone sat around and did stories and skits, we sang songs and ate some Turkey and Ham. Rob was the MC and the night was fun. Grandpa Olson had all the family stand in a circle and hold hands. It was really neat. He bore his testimony and talked about not breaking the link in the family and all making it to the Celestial Kingdom.
