Christmas Day

The calm before the storm...
 

Our kids have never been ones to wake up early on Christmas morning.  Anna woke up at 6:30, Carly was next then Mac.  Finally around 8 we let them wake up Brad.  We had lots of fun hanging out together and opening presents.   

 

These didn't stay on good so they went back to the store (luckily Santa left the receipt.  Phew!)  However, they were sure cute.  Mac and Brad are WAY into Star Wars right now.  They both had been asking for Light Sabers for Christmas.  They are pretty cool.  We had started watching all six Star Wars Episodes over Christmas Break.  We even watched one on Christmas Day.  Mac also got a new soccer ball and some more Star Wars guys.  Brad got some new Star Wars guys, and a baseball T.

 

 

One of Carly and Anna's gifts was the American Girl Salon Chair and hair care kit.  They love doing hair and are becoming quite expert.  They make cute how-to videos.  They also got some cute new clothes, shoes, and new bedding for their beds. 

 

We had a yummy breakfast of all-you-can-eat cinnamon rolls, bacon, eggs, apple juice, orange juice, sugar cereal, and NO fruit.  We eat fresh fruit every morning so all the kids were excited we didn't have any fruit for breakfast.  It was a great morning.  We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Barlows later that night and enjoyed a Cafe Rio style meal and more gifts and fun times.
