Christmas Day

CHRISTMAS MORNING!

This morning was amazing!  The kids actually slept in - it felt so good.  I couldn't believe they slept until 9:00 am.  Such a contrast to when they used to wake up at 6 or 7 AM for the festivities.  

ANTICIPATION!  At the stairs waiting to come down!!!

Marissa was in LOVE at first sight!  Just a month before she dropped her iPhone 4s on the bathroom floor and shattered the screen.  The phone still worked but the glass top was broken.  Amazingly Santa brought a iPhone 5s for her.  She was so happy she fell over on the floor...

Pure Joy
She's so happy!
Robert really REALLY wanted Sperry Top Sider shoes.  He didn't really tell anyone what he wanted for Christmas but Santa knew - Santa brought him the exact pair he wanted.  Pretty amazing!
the perfect shoe for Robert
Devon had a huge smile when he saw that Santa brought the newest Poke'mon game "Y" for him.  

A kid all over again

Christmas was filled with wonderful presents … from fun food ones like … Devon getting CocoPuffs and Robert and Marissa getting Bisquick and Chocolate Chip Morsels. 
2 boxes of CocoPuffs - Devon's favorite

Bisquick to make pancakes (Chocolate chip pancakes) YUM!!!
And Dad got his fruit mix that he loves!  Everyone is happy

A special treat was that Jessica wrote a letter to each of the kids.  It was so special!


Devon brought big surprises from BYU.  He gave Robert a BYU Soccer ball!  Oh- joy!!!

brothers!  Robert loved his present
Devon brought a BYU Basketball for Dad all the way from BYU!
Mark liked his basketball

Devon bought Marissa a sweater from American Eagle.  She loved it!

Mom so happy Devon is back home!


Devon got mom a new book and lots of chocolate!  He doesn't know that she is trying to give up chocolate … she can't resist.


Next it was Marissa's turn.  She gave mommy a $40 give card to Ann Taylor and some chocolate!  More chocolate!
Big Hugs for the girls

Marissa gave Dad a gift card and book!
Dad loves his Baldacci books!!!

Marissa gave Devon the 3DSi game "X" to go with the "Y" game Santa brought!

Robert got a BYU Sweatshirt from MOM!

Robert got Marissa a cool pair of pants from American Eagle that go perfect with the sweater that Devon got her … and the boots that Mom got her...
