Christmas Day | 2011


Christmas was super fun and super laid back this year. Since it was on Sunday, we did things a little differently this year. The kids slept in until about 8 o'clock, so we rushed downstairs to see if Santa came and went through our stockings before getting ready for church. After opening our stockings, the kid's were so excited we let them open their one present from Santa before we left.


After we got home from church, we all climbed back into our pajamas and opened up the rest of our presents!


Audrey's big gift this year was a digital camera. She took pictures and made videos all day. She seems to love the video feature the best and some of her "shows" are pretty funny.


Ethan was soooooo surprised to get a DSi XL. He really wanted a DSi, but didn't think he was going to get one and the fact that he got an XL made his day.


Ethan was being so polite when he opened up this present, but when I asked him if he liked it, he said..."yeah. It's great. I kind of already have it, but that's cool". Whoops... I can't believe I didn't realize he had that one. I assured him we could exchange it for something he didn't already have!


Both David and Ethan got remote control helicopters and got pretty good at flying them all over the living room.


Audrey checking out her squinkies... it's about the only "toy" she wanted. She still loves anything little and cute... probably always will!


Audrey showing off her new boots!

Save the biggest for last! David was super excited to get his new pump scooter!

... and the aftermath! Such a fun day. We were able to just hang out, play games, visit with Grandma & Grandpa Kidd and eat yummy food. It was fun just being together!

Looks like a great day!!! I think it's a little sad that Audrey and Jaylee are already at this stage... it was a weird time for me shopping for Jaylee b/c she is stuck between young and old!!! Ethan seems to always have such great manners!! Not sure what a pump scooter is, I'll have to google it. I wish we had done the same with church... it would have made the anticipation all that much better!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sounds like a perfect Christmas day to me. We did pretty much the same, but we had time to open all our gifts before church because ours was at 1pm. I still have yet to post about Christmas, but hope to get to it this week. Your Christmas tree is beautiful! I love how it sparkles so much. Where are the pictures of you and Jason? What did Santa bring you two?
