Yay, Christmas is here!

Christmas morning was wonderful! Kids slept in until about 8:00, and when we came upstairs there were a few gifts left on the fire place from Santa. Thank you Mr. Clause, we love our toys. I tried to capture the look on each child's face. Didn't do a very good job, but you'll get the point.

What a magical morning. I love my little angels.

Of course after we were done playing with toys, and eating breakfast, the Browns came over. We got to open more presents, spoiled children! The gift of the day was the announcement that Papa and Grandma are taking all of us to Disney World in March. WOW! Thank you so much!

Joseph was in love with the new hoodie that Papa and Grams got him. He also loved his nerf gun.

Maximus the little ham posing with his new Transformers T-shirt

Here's Sharley, and Jonah with all the kids

Princess Bell

Awe, how cute

We also did a gift exchange/white elephant. One for the men, and one for the women. The men had a $10.00 spending limit, and the women had to bring a gift that they already owned that was special to them. Reece received a Surfer magazine (which he gave to Stan) and a family movies pack, and some beef Jerky. I, got something really special that was probably really hard for the giver to let go of. It was the little princess movie staring Shirley Temple. This gift was given by my mom who was trying to be tricky. I guess in the movie, at the end, Shirley Temple get's a quilt for Christmas. So low and behold, I also got a quilt.

Wow, thanks again Mom.

After eating See's candy, and yummy homemade dips all day... we decided to make more food. Turkey dinner what a treat! Thank you Dad and mom for a wonderful day of presents and food and fun!

Dad loves to just rip those legs off that Turkey!
Mmmm, and I love Turkey dinner for Christmas.

So after Dinner we played our traditional Nertz game( Kudos to Jonah who played with my dad, and they won!), and then got to bed for an early trip to Vegas the next day.
(Vegas to take Sharley and Jonah to the airport)

Some other fun things we did while in New Harmony:

The kids loved to snuggle with Papa, and Grandma for movies.

Here's matching pajamas for all the baby girls

Don't ask

Max had fun frosting and decorating some cookies with Mavis

Oh my, these boys are crazy! Or maybe just proving their manly-ness.

In, and Out... Not just a burger.

Another fun thing we did while at grandma and papa's house was taking the quads to a secluded hill to go sledding. I didn't bring my camera to the hill so here are the before pictures:

Isabel, and Lauric. Snow bunnies!King Maximus!

Well wasn't that fun! Can not wait until March for our trip to Disney. Also looking forward to the next snow fall in N.H. so we can make a trip up to our new spot. My oh my, what a very Merry Christmas.
