christmas morning...

Merry Christmas morning!!
We were so excited to wake up, come downstairs, and find out that Santa had come. We ran into Daddy & Mommy's room saying, "Santa really came...he really came." We also noticed that our stockings had been filled also, but that one stocking looked as if it had coal in it. That worried us a bit...until we found out that the "coal" was really squirt toys for Brecken...whew!! That was a close one!! :) We enjoyed our morning together...eating breakfast, reading the Christmas story, praying together, and exchanging gifts. Such a fun time together...celebrating the birth of Jesus and enjoying time together as a family!

Christmas morning 2011!
Brecken loved his little riding pony from Santa...and we sure loved our leappads! Well, Brecken at first wasn't sure what to think...he just crawled up to it, looked at it, and then looked at us...
...and he liked it...yay!
Daddy put him on the pony, and Brecken enjoyed riding it for a while!
Such a big boy!
We are ready to open our gifts...sitting by the tree!
But, before we exchanged our gifts to each other...we were enjoying our gifts from Santa!
My (Brady) first gift was a set of pots and pans. Brecken loved them also...and he banged the whisk on the pot for over an hour that morning...and loved it!
I loved opening up gifts again...so much fun!
And, Averie loved it, too!
Yay...a doll trolley for Averie!!
Oma got to join us Christmas morning, and she loved opening up her Oma frame!
And, Oma helped Brecken open up a few of his gifts...but he was really just interested in the pan and whisk!
Me opening another gift!

Brecken finally enjoyed opening up a gift...
...and then using it for a seat. Notice what is still in his hand? Yep, that whisk!
Trying to play with his new gift while it's in the box...and the whisk in the other hand!
And, an action shot of Brecken playing!!

After the gifts, we got to open up our stockings...here is Mommy helping Brecken with his...
Yay...a personalized CD...Brecken loves music!
Now, it's Averie's turn...

Averie loves Rapunzel...and Daddy & Mommy gave her a singing Rapunzel card!
Yay for a cup...

Yay...a lollipop!! I LOVE candy!
Looking for other goodies!
Lots of great stuff!
