Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning began at 5:50 with Jared waking Eric and I

he was promptly told to go back to be and not bother anyone else!

About an hour later he thought it safe to try again

Not so.

Then a few minutes later Tyler came in to get us....

We told them we weren't starting until their sister woke up

And NO they didn't need to check on her she'd come out when she was ready.

SO they went back to their room

and began texting me.....

now very much regretting the "boys phone"

but finally at 8:15 Elizabeth woke and Alex was convinced to get up as well

and down we went to the treasures below!

Excitement for the XBOX Kinect that Santa left!

 So happy to see Santa

No santa?

She seemed to think he was going to be downstairs waiting for her

I think she felt ripped off

She was so disappointed that Santa wasn't there that it took her awhile to warm up to the idea of presents

babies!

She named them Liz and Grace

 I got you socks dad!!!!!

a great christmas morning

followed by a yummy breakfast 

a quiet afternoon 

and an evening movie!

then we came home a 3 out of 6 got stomach cramps and everything that follows
we think we may have picked up food poisoning somewhere 
very sad way to end a great day
but we wont dwell on that!
We had a fabulous Christmas day!
