Our Christmas

We stayed home for Christmas this year and it was nice. We missed family a lot, but had a great time spending time as a family. We woke up early, it was actually mom (Shar) and dad (Justin) who woke up first (6 am) and got the kids up to start the festivities. I was too excited for everyone so had to get things going. Remember, I am a morning person.
Anyway the kids saw that Santa left them Bakugans, Lego's, clothes, and treats. It was then on to creating Christmas carnage with the unwrapping of gifts that have sat under our tree for quite some time. We had through the month guessed what was in each package once or twice. We did this in order one at a time from youngest to oldest, next year I think we will do girls first. Anyway we thank family for the great gifts. There were transformers, a Play Dough Martian Maker, computer games, and the most exciting present of all was a box with a note in it. The kids went on a scavenger hunt to find the present from mom and dad which took them to the back yard to find a Trampoline. They were very excited! The rest of the day was nice and relaxing. We had friends come for breakfast and then just hung out the rest of the day watching shows, playing games, and building Lego's and other things that needed to be built. We also packed up the car to leave for Southern Utah and stay with the Turner Family at a cabin for a couple of days.

Me unwrapping gifts. Mackay gave me this lovely box to put treasures in. I also got an MP3 player and a gift card for KHOLS,
Justin got his favorite thing for Christmas - socks. He gets them every year and loves it. He also got a shirt and a new sleeping bag that will actually fit him.
I already mentioned what Tyler and Mackay got. This is them opening their Christmas PJ's on Christmas Eve. The picture above shows what their PJ's looked like so I won't add another.
Anyway it was a wonderful Christmas and the best part was talking to family later and also that everyone got along and there was great peace in the Turner Family for the day.
