In order to get to our in laws by 8am, we woke our kids up at 7am to open presents at our house.
Hayley wasn't very happy about being woken up but she quickly turned on her happy face when she heard that Santa had come.
I was so surprised since she had seemed so greedy with presents the night before that she brought Andersen a present and had him open his first.

Andersen got an ABC book from mom and dad.

Hayley trying to figure out how to unwrap the present I handed her.

Andersen was apparently REALLY excited about this book. :)

Everybody looking at the crayon roll that I made for Hayley.

Andersen opening the ties I made him.

Hayley loves books...especially princess ones.

Silly daddy put the bag on Andy's head.

Hayley looking at the quiet "colors" book I made her. It took a long time but I am so proud of the way it turned out.

Look at her face...she was SO excited about the baby doll Santa brought her.

She decided to name her Noelle (her middle name). I love how attached she is right now.

Andersen LOVES his stuffed snake ties I made for him. He chewed on the tongue through most of church today.

I love her sweet faces. Hayley getting ready to dump out her stocking.

Dumping it out!

Her favorite part was originally the candy cane (because she asked Santa for one) but she is completely attached to the microphone now and likes to say "I'm Hayley the science kid...science kid...science kid." just like Sid. :)

Davey was happy to open the pick up sticks game I bought for him and Hayley to enjoy together.

I also got him something in a big box...

...an iTunes gift card. haha! I also made him a jean banket but dont have a picture of it. That was his favorite present and I am so proud of myself for finishing it in time.

After opening our presents, it was time to head over to the Maughan's house. We definitely got spoiled this year and are so grateful for the many things they did for our family.
Andersen got a Buzz doll to go with the Woody he got for his birthday. The boys thought it would be funny to put him and Buzz in this box...he wasnt amused.

Hayley opened their new set of blocks.

Andersen got Toy Story jammies.

Hayley got homemade jammies made by Nana...but she was getting up as I was taking the picture.

And my favorite present...they bought each of our small families a wagon. I was choking back tears when my kids opened this. I have been wanting one for a long time but we just couldnt afford it or justify the need to get one.

Crazy Papa bought the kids 150 small balls and 10 bigger bouncy balls. Yeah...we are going to have to find a place for them in our house.

Brookie Cookie checking out her millions of balls.

Hayley finally got the wear her Tinkerbell dress up after opening presents. She LOVES it.

This is how Andersen reacts when the dog is inside.

My monkey boy. I have no idea what the point of this was.

Playing with the Grinch.

Hayley modeling her new dress that Nana Maughan sewed for her.

Davey was so frustrated putting it together...but we are so grateful that he humored mom and did it anyway.

Hayley and Andersen riding in their new wagon. We LOVE it!

Hayley, Andersen and second cousin, Kylyn taking a ride.

Hayley ended the day by zonking out on Aunt Ginger...she must be a miracle worker. :)
We had a wonderful Christmas and are so grateful to the many people that we got to make memories with.
