It's a christmas tradition in our family, as well as many families, to open 1 gift on christmas eve. yup you guessed it christmas PJ's Jenna's hearts are candy cane hearts, and Payton has christmas sports pj's with a robe. Jenna has a robe from last christmas, and this has caused contention, because Payton has no robe. Santa saw fit to remedy this, and we are all grateful.

My mom and Calvin, came to our house at 7 am to open presents with us. I'm not sure who was more excited the grandparents or the kids. It was really nice to have them over. They have never seen my kids christmas morning, and it was fun having them there. Jenna got a guitar from grandma and papa and we love this gift. We love it just about as much as the keyboard that santa got her. Did i mention that she plays this guitar, and keyboard almost every morning when she wakes up.

Payton loves trucks, he got a big metal dump truck for his birthday, that he always plays with. So, Santa brought a big green loader to go with it.

Santa also brought some guns to play with.

Our princess is growing up way to fast.

Here is our charlie brown christmas tree. We went up to the mountains, and cut it down with great friends of ours. However, this tree is about 8 feet tall, and our base wasn't heavy enought to support it. Well it fell down at least once a day, sometimes several times in a day. Notice all the decorations, and lights are on one side of the tree. You can only redecorate so many times before you give up, and leave all the deco's where the fall after the tree falls down.
