Christmas Morning

Boo started barking around 4:00 in the morning on Christmas day.  Soon after, I heard Kate and brought her into my bed.  She went back to sleep for a short time.  Collin was in my bed before 5:00, and then Reagan was up a few minutes later.  We were nice and let Tyler sleep in.....until 6:00.

 Kate noticed that there were only a few crumbs left on Santa's plate; she ate them!!!!

 The stockings were full!

 Collin was so excited about that astronaut ice cream, but after trying it, he declared it, "gross".

Our tradition has always been that Grandma and Grandpa come over early Christmas morning with all of their gifts.  It makes for a very exciting Christmas morning with lots of presents.

 Santa brought that big candy cane bone for Kelly, and some little Christmas bones for Boo.

 Boo had a different idea.  Poor Kelly, she lets Boo get away with everything.  Boo is still chomping away on that bone all day long.

 I didn't think I had any pictures of Grandpa on Christmas morning, but you can see him in the background of the above picture.

 The much awaited and greatly anticipated Rainbow Loom.

 Santa brought Y Scooters for Reagan and Collin.

 Kate was VERY overwhelmed by Christmas.  She opened a few presents and then decided she was done.  She only opened one of her presents from Mom and Dad on Christmas, and then opened the remaining two and the three presents from Santa two days later.  She was SUPER excited about that Doc McStuffins clinic (above) from Grandma and Grandpa, and after opening that, she stayed in that position just kind of staring at it and occasionally playing with it a little.  She loves it!  She also loves her Lambie from Grandma and Grandpa.  While she was still opening gifts though, she did open some clothing and she is officially at the age of pushing it away, with total disappointment on her face.  She is not her sister; Reagan has always been very excited about clothes!

 New headphones from Santa make for a happy teenager.

 Above is the present from Mom and Dad that Kate opened; a little kitchen - this has been a big hit.

I love to mention a few of the gifts the kids received so that I can remember in the future.

Tyler - Beats headphones, mini Coca Cola fridge, money (he's saving for a laptop)

Collin - Lego sets (of course), books, Disney Infinity (and some figurines) for the WiiU, Y Scooter

Reagan - Rainbow Loom, Y Scooter, roller blades, clothes, shoes

Katelyn - Kitchen, Gymnic Rody hopping horse, Strider bike
