Christmas

We got the kids up around 6:30 to open presents. Here are their presents waiting for them. Emmy wanted a princess "computer," T.J. wanted a Thomas train, and Addy loves puppies so that's what Santa brought her.
All of my kids love Dr. Seuss, so they got books and stuffed animals to match in their stockings.
Santa brought me a Kindle which I was really excited about. I didn't get Jamie anything too exciting, a HAM radio handbook and router bits, but Wyatt and Dawn had our name and they came through for me so he didn't have a total bummer Christmas. They got him a 22 pistol which he was really excited about.
My mom made Emmy about 12 new outfits for her 18" doll, so she definitely has the best dressed doll in town. They got to go in my mom's room, get a shopping bag, and go "shop" for which outfits they wanted. So that was fun. And they got T.J. a new bat. All the presents from my parents to the grandkids were sitting in a pile wrapped and you could tell that one was a bat and T.J. said, "maybe that one's for me."  He said the bat was his favorite present of the day. He loves baseball.
We had a wonderful Christmas. We all got way more than we needed or deserved. We feel truly blessed and are so grateful that we have a Savior who loved us enough to come to this earth. Merry Christmas!
