Christmas Day

SANTA CAME!!!!!!

Here are the kids with some of their other presents.  Luke recieved all kitchen things from Nana and Punkin, Santa and us.  He was so in heaven.  All morning he just kept saying "love to cook" over and over again.  The girls got lots of fun stuff including puzzles and a giant horse from Nana and Punkin.  Seth got so many things to build he was beside himself, k'nex, erector set, legos.  He also got an older x-box with 6 games (I sure love garage sales).  I haven't really seen the kids all day yesterday or today.  They have camped out in the basement playing with all their toys and watching their new movies.  I have loved it!

Sam got his dream this year.  He keeps saying over and over that he needs a either a gun or a truck to be a man in Idaho so I guess this year he officially became a man.  He was so excited.  I got him a 20-guage shotgun, mostly becase he is not a hunter, if he ever goes it will probably be for birds and he wants to have something for protection at home.  He took it out today to practice shooting and was beaming like a little kids when he came home, cute guy!

I had a great Christmas, especially after my nap (the kids woke us up at 5:30 am after many repeatings the night before to not be up BEFORE 7).  It is was so fun to see their excitement.  This year all of them really got into it and I love that.  Sam got me some wonderful gifts, a very pretty ctr ring, a picture of the Salt Lake Temple, slippers and a new stock pot (which I loved).  He is such a good man and takes such good care of me and the kids.  What a joy it has been to have him home for several days at a time.  I love having him around and thank God everyday for this man!!!
