Christmas Day

So I'm finally posting about Christmas day. It was a perfect day. Shopping for the kids this year was so much fun because they are both so into certain things. The last couple months, Colter has become obsessed with superheros. He never has really been into the Toy Story characters or Cars so it's fun to see him get excited about Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Spiderman, etc. Sydney is into anything and everything girly. She loves dolls, dressing up, barbies, princesses, etc. Her latest fascination is Tangled.

The kids were in great moods and had so much fun. Sydney was the first one to wake up so we had her hang out in our room until Colter woke up. They surprisingly didn't have much reaction when they first walked in the room. Colter was still half asleep. It didn't take long for them to get excited though. They opened their presents at the same time. Colter got a handheld game system, a captain america grooming set, a couple dvds, art stuff, & a race track (which we ended up taking back b/c it didn't work). He loved all his presents. Sydney got a magnetic doll set, art stuff, Tangled figurines, & a few other girly toys.

I think this picture is hilarious. They are both so out of it....especially Colter.

Sydney got a chocolate Santa in her stocking and b/c it was Christmas we let her eat it at 8 in the morning.

The kids played w/ their toys for a while and then we got ready for church with Jeff's family. After church we went to Jeff's parents house for a wonderful lunch, opening presents, playing the Luke 2 pass present game, and visiting. We had a relaxing, enjoyable, fun time. Colter loved his art kits & play dough sets and Sydney got a Aquadoodle kit which both of the kids love and still play w/ all the time.

After the Talley's house we went straight to the Brown's house for another great time. We spent about an hour and a half opening presents since there are so many kids and grandkids (which I love doing). Sydney loved the dolls she got from her grandparents and her cousin. Colter got a Captain America shield from his cousin Bailey and a matching mask from his grandparents. He was absolutely thrilled! We hung out and ate dinner and then headed home and just relaxed for the rest of the night. Such a great day! I love Christmas!

This was a book that a couple of my siblings put together for my dad. Every once in a while my dad will say something that completely shocks us so my siblings starting making a list of some of the things he's said. They transformed it into this scrapbook type thing. It was pretty funny.

Here is one video of xmas morning. After every present Sydney opened, she said, "I want to open it."
