Christmas 2011

Christmas morning before 9:00a.m. church! The kids woke up at 6:30, raided their stockings and had time to open a couple of gifts before we needed to leave.

My Christmas surprise was getting two trees! I have always wanted two trees, but didn't have room in the old house. I never go tree shopping because Dad takes care of that with the kids while I get the house ready. They brought the second tree in while I was tucked away in my room. When I walked out, L-16 already had the lights up on both trees and I was so surprised I was speechless and teary! :)

Papa Bear in his Big Chair next to the Big Tree. He was the happy recipient of some Large Lego sets to continue his Large Collection!

Silly sibling gift~

L-16 was happy with her gifts, esp. perfume and make up~

M-9 was a bundle of excitement and made the morning especially fun with her enthusiasm and gratitude~
C-14 had lots of Lego to build which made him a happy guy~

P-12 was glad to receive some favorite Wii games and really liked his new ties.

No picture of me haha! I was excited to get a new camera! Yay! And a Big Pot to make mega amounts of homemade broth in. And puppy paw print flannel pajamas! Merry Christmas!
