Christmas Day 2009

Every once in a while Santa nails it with Christmas.  This year was his year.  We had a great Christmas!  We were able to wake up enjoy opening presents as a family and just having fun together.   I think everyone went away happy and it was a lot of fun.  After the presents and breakfast the kids enjoyed getting their gifts put together and organized and I kind of ran around trying to get everyone ready for an eleven hour car drive to AZ.  It was all worth it and I was glad that we could spend some of the holidays with my family.  It had been a long time since we had been down in AZ for the Christmas holiday and it was a lot of fun.  (more on that later)

Ella was pleased as punch to have lipstick and a purse to put them all in.  She still walks around the house with a ton of items in a purse.  She is a girly girl.

A remote control car for Elias was great fun.

If you know Micah then you know that he is a Chargers fan.  So he got a Chargers watch and a scooter that sparks when you ride it.  Most of the neighborhood was over to watch it in action.

As you can tell Isaac was pretty excited about his new ipod.  He has loved it and he loves watching Nacho Libra on it at all times.

McKenna was very excited and surprised at getting an itouch.  Of course she figured out real quick how to text her friends on it (who seemed to get phones, we aren't there yet).  She seems real pleased and it is rare that she doesn't have it with her (not at school though).  I also did really well with Seth's gifts, which is hard sometimes.  I just like surprises, so when they are successful then I'm all for it.  It was a great holiday and I'm glad it is over and I can get myself organized again.
