Christmas 2011

This is what my kids woke up to on Christmas morning, but all they could do was look and wait to open them since this year Christmas fell on a Sunday, which means we had to go to Church before we could have Christmas. We only had Sacrament so it wasn't too bad, it was actually enjoyable.

After Sacrament we came home took the normal picture with everyone dressed in their Christmas clothes (which we didn't do anything fancy this year) then I sent everyone to change into normal clothes and we started Christmas morning.

Because it can get a little crazy with lots of kids and presents I am a mean mom and we make the kids open them one by one so everyone can see what they get.

This year they wanted to start with their stockings first and the only thing Daxton cared about was the baby bottle pop

Then we moved on to presents, but this little one decided that I needed to take a picture BEFORE he opened it and would not open it until I had.

Andren's turn to open a present

Kierra got a football, now maybe she will quit taking Kendon's

Daxton got a soccer ball just his size so now he can go out and play with the kids.

Bricanie excited...this is either the Pirates of the Caribbean the 4th one or The 7th Harry Potter part 2

Kierra got more duct tape. I think she ended up with 30 something rolls of it.

Andren got an ihome to go with his new ipod touch. After opening the ipod he was pretty much done and just wanted to play with that and not open presents

Kendon got Magic Tree house books #7-38 or something like that...He was not very happy cause he wanted Diary of a Wimpy Kid instead.

Bricanie was a little confused after opening this one...BB's but then she realized they most likely went to a bb gun she had asked for.

Kierra so excited that she got the new book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series...now she has them all

Andren got a plane station now he has somewhere to play with all of his planes.

Kendon got walkie talkie radios

Bricanie finally got the straightener for her hair that she has been wanting for forever

Kierra with her new "weighted" baby doll. It feels like you are holding a real baby.

Kendon got a skate board.

Daxton loves Toy Story lately and got a bunch of toy story toys.

YAY Kendon's finally excited he got Skylanders for the Xbox
