Dalton and Ashby checking out his angry birds figures.
Brooks loved his Barrel of pink monkeys!
And of course all the candy!
Ashby and Dalton are at the perfect age for Christmas this year. Everything has been so magical and exciting for them. It is so fun to watch and enjoy.
After the kids opened their stockings we had one of my favorite things about Christmas morning: Homemade Sticky Buns! mmmmm
Our church wasn't until 1:00 in the afternoon so we were able to take our time doing breakfast and opening presents.
Ashby was so excited to get this pink doll chair to do her doll's hair in.
We got both Dalton and Ashby robes this year and let me tell you it has been one of their favorite presents! They have wore those robes every night and morning! So funny.
Brooks loved these little books get got the most.
Ashby got her American Girl Doll from Santa and boy was she excited!
Brooks waiting for Daddy to assemble his little tool bench.
Santa brought Dalton his Millennium Falcon Star Wars ship he really wanted.
And a really cool knight castle set to play with Daddy. He loves this book called "Daddy and Me" and in the book they play with a knight castle and knights. Every time we read it he tells me he wants a knight castle to play with his Daddy. Well he finally got his wish!
Santa left the kids a note on their plate of cookies saying he had hidden a couple of extra presents this year for Ashby and Dalton. They searched the room for a minute when Dalton found they were hidden in the coffee table!
They couldn't believe it (they didn't even ask Santa for it); Santa got them both a Nintendo DS!! They were totally pumped (and have been playing them non-stop since)!
Brooks LOVES pirates so he loved his new pirate ship.
Dalton was thrilled one of the DS games he got was Lego Star Wars. Look at his face! I love how Dalton shows his emotions so openly. He cracks us up!
Ashby with her new Princess Peach game.
Ryder got some sweet new clothes and toys. He was sure a happy little guy watching the commotion around him in his bouncer seat.
Since Christmas fell on a Sunday this year the only meeting that was held was Sacrament. It was so nice to go to church on Christmas. We had a special musical program. The last song is always played by a man in our ward who does "Oh Holy Night" with the French Horn. It is always amazing.
We had my parents, Ryan's parents, and my sister Shelli and her family over for dinner on Christmas. It was so much fun. We made our favorite Tortilla Soup, Hot Artichoke Dip and for dessert we made our famous ice cream crepes. Everything was soooo yummy.
Afterwards their was more present opening and visiting. Dalton was thrilled with his new batman car and Ashby with her American Girl crafts and Ballet outfit for her doll.
The whole family with my parents.
Papa was getting some good smiles from Ryder. So sweet.
It was such a fun Christmas this year. We loved having the Park family here to visit. The kids are at such fun ages for Christmas. We loved watching their eyes light up Christmas morning. Being together with all our family and loved ones is simply the best. Merry Christmas!!
