these two were so excited to see if santa had come!
Santa did come!
waiting on the steps for the green light!
As soon as we got downstairs and the kids saw the presents, Anna went straight over to the present she made for us at school. She had been waiting for weeks to give it to us! I'm so impressed she wanted to do that first before opening any of her presents (proud parent moment).
Nan's handprint tree
gift from Drew - love these sweet gifts (they stay up all year round)
one of Wyatt's gifts from mom and dad (cousin Jack got one too from us)
Santa brought Anna an easel to play school with
Wyatt checking out his activity table box (it is a bit upside down)
opening presents wore this guy out, we also had to wake him up to go open presents, one day he'll be up early for Christmas!
teaching her students with her new school set from Santa - love that she wants to be teacher!
almost a great pic, if only Wyatt would look at the camera...
decorating her puppy case and collar from Drew
Here are some of the gift highlights. I better document this now before I forget!
Drew got a K-State jersey and hat, Fifa 15 for his DS, and * from Santa. Daddy and I got him high Nike socks, neon yellow nike sweatshirt, basketball shoes, shirts, Hover soccer ball, tennis shoes, a couple of games (Chess Solitaire and Mastermind)
Anna got an easel, the easel set (paints, chalk, etc), and Barbie car from Santa. From us she got some craft kits, an Ariel Barbie, tennis shoes, school bulletin board trifold school set
Wyatt got a little People Nativity set and activity table from Santa. He got a bank and some books from daddy and I.
Mike and I exchanged gifts. I got some new sunglasses (Anna gave him that idea), a Keurig, and another band for wedding/engagement ring. The band isn't here yet, but I should have it soon. I'm so excited!
Mike got a picture calendar from the kids, some shirts, clippers for outside use, Sporting KC sweatshirt, Chiefs Trivia book, and a massage gift card.
For breakfast we had homemade cinnamon rolls that Mike's Aunt Barb always makes. They were tasty! The kids also had some chocolate donuts, that our elf Buddy left for them. We were pretty lucky, Buddy stayed for Christmas. He was on the tree and was able tow watch the kids open gifts. He left a few days later.
It was such a perfect Christmas morning. We had plenty of time to enjoy gift opening and the kids had time to open things and play with them. We also really enjoyed eating a nice breakfast together. Christmas morning is such a fun morning! Can't wait for next year (although I'm not wanting to hurry things along).
