Christmas Morning 2011

Early Sunday morning I snuck out to the dinning room and took a couple of pictures before the boys woke up and destroyed the scene.  For our tree I drilled a hole in a piece of 2x4 and stuck the TOP portion of our tree in it.  The kids were so happy to have a tree with lights and a star.  

Santa sure did FREAK me out with this one!  I just wanted to get a photo and BOOM there is a snake in front of me!  Its all soft and wiggly too. I thought it was REAL! 

Happy boys ready to dive in! 

Here is a present list for posterity's sake:

Nathan: How to train your dragon Wii game, orange down vest

Spencer: Rubber snake, mini fooze ball table

Jared: Wallet, Discovery Kids laptop

Levi: "tiger shark" airplane, bubblegum machine, pajamas

Clara: MP3 player boom box, pajamas

Oscar: Makita drill and driver set, Ninja blender, wallet

Jocelyn: Leather office chair, toaster, slippers

All the kids got RC cars or helicopters (even Clara), all the boys got robes, toothbrushes, and blankets, the school boys all got new backpacks and lunch pails,  

Spencer was very sweet and wrapped up something for each of his siblings. He even made Clara a paper doll with matching purse.  The biggest surprise was when I unwrapped my little point and shoot camera that had been missing for a month.  Thank you Jared!  It made me SO happy to find it! 

The boys LOVE their robes!  They wear them every night after their showers.
