christmas morning.

Usually we forget stockings... this year they decided to go for them first!

A sewing machine...

Red Ryder BB gun... {this gift was his daddy's idea}

Her reaction when she sees that her baby moves/makes noise when you give her the paci...

They each got their own video recorders (so they will stop asking to use our Flip camera). A BIG hit! {although the gift would have been more awesome if Mommy would have remembered they didn't come with memory cards...}

This was the reaction for most of their gifts this year. {Sophie and Lawson, anyway} They each only got 3, but they loved them all. We did good this year. Meaningful, fun gifts. I love that.

She loves her little video game player! She calls it her DS. =)

 Mid-morning we got a text to check our front porch. Man, we love having the Meneley's for neighbors. I'm still trying to convince them to come to the farm with us. =)

A sweet gift for each kiddo...

Super cute mugs for Corey and I...

And just happy things to make us smile. So, so sweet and thoughtful. {and, they went out in 0* windchill to deliver it!}

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus...

We improvised on the candle...

Our traditional picture in front of the tree. =)

A lovely, happy morning... full of smiles.

{Which was questionable... considering the grouchy attitude the night before. We figured it out though, when Lawson woke us up at 2:30 am... by coming in our room and throwing up. Always a good time. Luckily, he was full of smiles the next day!}
