Christmas 2009

We started out Christmas with the traditional present opened on Christmas Eve


The kids all got new pajamas and as you can see, they were overjoyed!


Presents were stuffed under the tree including 4 pairs of ice skates. However, these are extra cool ice skates because they also convert to roller skates and roller blades so they can be worn year round.


The kids opened the present found in their stockings. They each got a new pair of slippers.


Alex as well as all the kids, each got new socks and underwear as part of their gifts. How exciting.


Abby loves her Playmobile things and can always use more.


Isaac (wearing his new hat) got a set of "Creepy Magic".


Hannah loves her new guitar. She has started learning new songs via YouTube. The "Guitar for Dummies" book is on its way.

Here is a video of one of the rounds of present opening:


We had a great morning and then relaxed most of the day. The Higleys joined us for a Ham and Sour Cream Potato dinner and then a few games.

Now....if you are REALLY interested in experiencing the full Christmas morning, here is the slideshow of all pictures. It starts with a dinner at the de Jonge home where we had Christmas Eve dinner with the missionaries as well as a couple other families in the ward.
