Christmas Day

Christmas morning Ashlyn came into our room about 5:30 telling me that Santa hadn't come yet-I told her it was too early so we snuggled til about 6:30 and she woke up asking again if Santa had come-I told her she had to stay in bed with Daddy while I went out to check.  Sure enough he had come!!!   

I wanted to get her reaction on video-thought for sure she would be soooo excited that Santa brought her the kitchen she had been asking for but instead she said "Santa forgot my scooter mommy!"  Well Ashlyn he didn't forget about it you never asked Santa for a scooter you asked him for a kitchen:) 

Santa brought Brody this adorable lil turtle-he loves to bounce on it and of course stand on it.

After getting over the fact that she didn't get a scooter she was excited about her kitchen and making mommy and daddy coffee and pancakes.

We headed to my parents house early that morning for brunch and gifts!! Ashlyn liked her new antlers:)

Paw Paw and Emaw got Ashlyn her 1st American Girl-she thought it was pretty neat that Kit looked like her.

Kane was excited to open his presents!

Brody's turn!!

Do we look alike?  That's what EVERYONE tells me-she is my twin!! 

Who knows what Ashlyn said or did in this picture but Paw Paw and Emaw found it funny!!!

Santa even stopped by and dropped off a few gifts-Ashlyn got this new bed for her babies.

Brody got a new Craftsman work bench

Santa brought Kane a new kitchen

Ashlyn got princess dress-up clothes and Aunt Rachel thought it would be fun for Kane to play dress up-Matt didn't find it funny!!  He was practicing his wave for us:)  He cracks me up!!

 That afternoon we celebrated with my mom's family-my dad was so proud of his garage tree. 

 The kids had a blast playing with all their new toys-Ashlyn decided she would let Asher take her for a ride in her new stroller. 

Brody is loving all of his sis's new doll stuff:)

Ashlyn and Josh were serving up ice cream!!

We had an AMAZING Christmas-the kids had so much fun spending lots of time with family and opening lots of presents.  Its hard to believe that 2011 is almost over.  Can't wait to see whats in store for our family in 2012-I think its going to be a GREAT year!!!
