MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We were all so happy on this day, I wish all of our family time could be this sweet!  A very special thank you to our sweet grandparents who not only made this day possible, but also helped cheer up a depressed daughter, WE LOVE YOU!

Warning: LOTS of pictures! *smile*

Before the kids were up and the opening began....

 Here is the little nativity set we had for Lily to play with.  We were constantly finding pieces all over the house, but she loved to play with them and pack them around in the little snowman christmas box.

Lily taking a peak in her stocking...

 The crew anxiously awaiting....

Hey look I got some stuff!  I LOVE how the stocking is almost as big as she is *smile*

 Mason digging in...

 Parker taking 'stock' of what's in his stocking....

 Lily is so happy she got forks in her stocking!  She carried them EVERYWHERE!  She even tried opening her presents with it!

 Look a Moooovvvvieeeee!  *smile*

 Parker celebrating the Halo lego set he has been wanting....I think he's just a little happy about it *wink*

 Too bad you can't see his face.  Zach got a Notre Dame hoodie sweatshirt, he was super excited!

 OTown is so THRILLED with us because we got him underwear for Christmas!  HAHAHAHA, but.....

 he forgot to look at the bottom of the box because it was a picture of a magazine and a rifle!  He will be featured on the cover of Trophy Hunters in the May issue and because of that he gets a new Browning Rifle!  Now do you see the smile on his face!  *wink*  I think he was in the middle of saying 'Serious?!'

 Yeah!!!  We're so happy!

 Lily trying to open her present with her FORK!  hahaha

 I LOVE this picture!  Mason is trying to figure out what it is.  It is a tool bench with more tools and foam wood pieces to build with.  Once it was put together he was in HEAVEN! 

 Lily got a super cute hat from daddy......'Camo Princess'...

 Tah Dah!!!

 I don't think she was thrilled she couldn't just start cooking....

It was a pain to put together, but we put ourselves through it for our kiddos.

 I even had OTown's help.  Do you see all the boys wearing their new beanies from Washington DC?  Thanks Aunt Karen, they are a huge hit.  We have two FBI's, a CIA, an two Washington DC hats! *smile*

Now we're in business....

 This was my present this year and is totally my FAVORITE!!  It is sooo soft and is absolutely off limits except for me (sorry a little bit selfish I know, but they'll get over it...hahaha)

 Mason and Parker got matching tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, compass kits.  They were so excited they had to be set up right away!  They slept there for a whole week.  They can't wait until summer when they can sleep outside with them.  *smile*

We had such a wonderful day!  We relaxed, ate great food, played with new toys, and watched new movies.  The biggest hit of all was the Wii, but I don't have any pictures of it (darn).  We got some great games, thanks to a good friend, and they played every chance they got!  The most popular were the Cabelas and Harry Potter lego, even Avatar was a hit.  *smile*

Merry Christmas!!
