Christmas Morning 2009

(keep in mind, the kids decorated the tree this year, all by themselves. Didn't they do a great job =)
Yes, it was still dark out when they got up and started to open their stockings . . . okay it was 7am, but that's because we told them the night before they couldn't come down before then.

Yea! Ryan got an MP3 Player just like Amber's (and like his best friends too)
Speakers for her MP3 Player. Thanks O'ma and O'pa (they light up really cool too).
I think Mike was genuinely surprised to get a GPS system. Black Friday special, the only thing I waited in line for =)

The theme this year was sharing. We got a lot of gifts that the kids will be sharing; things for their train set, rock tumbler, crystal growing set, etc. They did a good job sharing as they opened the gifts . . . let's hope they do as good a job sharing the gifts as well.
Ryan got new Heeley's from O'ma and O'pa (YEA - his old ones were beyond torn up, and he was still trying to wear them)

Dad was very excited to get this book . . . I'm still not sure why, but he assures me it has the answer to any question anyone could possibly have. I guess it is a good thing to have around with Ryan and all his questions (hee hee).

Amber had asked for the new Tinker Bell Movie, Thank you O'ma and O'pa =)
PJ's from O'ma and O'pa =) He had been asking for some as I threatened to throw away his old ones which are way to tight. I said I would wait until he got some new ones to replace them. They are finally in the trash (thank you O'ma and O'pa).


Amber can't wait to make jewelry, but I'm not sure if it will be for me or her. Thanks so much Randy and Pam =)

Ryan loves his new helicopter from Randy and Pam =)


Amber got some awesome outfits she had been asking for from her O'ma and O'pa =)

Wow - the house was a bit of a mess, but it was fun as always =)

Ryan bought a Myth Busters set and new school shoes - NIKE - with the Christmas money from G'ma & G'pa and Aunt Gretchen.
Amber loved the two outfits she got from O'ma and O'pa so she used her money to buy two more. They are all different in colors etc. but are similar in style, stretch pants under a matching long top. She also had leftover birthday money so she got some mini Barbie mermaids and a water cooler for her bedroom (she likes to drink water at night). We really had a wonderful, white Christmas!
