Christmas Day

We woke up at a pretty decent time Christmas Morning, got ready for the day and opened our presents. The girls were super excited that they got vanity desks. Santa brought Lydia a vanity desk, 2 new webkinz dogs, and a Littlest Pet Shop Gym she has been wanting so much. Adelle got a vanity desk, a pink unicorn she can wear for pretend play, a Sleeping Beauty light up barbie, and a Sleeping Beauty walking horse to go with her barbie. Santa also brought the girls Legos to share. In their stockings they had a chocolate animal, a new littlest pet shop pet and colored pencils for Lydia and crayons for Adelle.

Lydia received from us the book Inkdeath (3rd book in Inkheart series), a timer/stopwatch to track her reading minutes from school, some play-doh, and a new Sunday Dress with tights.

Adelle received from us a Blues Clues DVD, a little stuffed Blue dog, a new unbreakable piggie bank, some new books (Bernstein Bears and Blues Clues), play-doh and a new Sunday Dress.

The family gifts were a Wall-E DVD, a Sleeping Beauty DVD, and a giant book about outer space which is super cool!!

I gave Wes a new Jacket and a green sweater. I also updated our personal scrapbook for the year which he just loves. I gave him the scrapbook last year. It contains pictures and stories of our little getaways that we take a couple of times a year.

He gave me the Asian shirt that he made, a new green hoodie sweater, a new watch and a receipt for a Bed and Breakfast stay on Valentine's Day. Woo Hoo! It has been a year since we have stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. The one we will be staying at in February is located in Logan which I think will just be far enough out of the valley to feel like a get away.

Lydia was sweet and got each of us presents this year. She made Wes and I a painted Christmas Ornament. She made Adelle a picture and also gave her a Princess jewlery box filled with bouncy balls and jelly braclets. Lydia helped clean the house for my present and also gave me cash. The silly girl :) It is the same cash she had found while cleaning her room.

Wes' dad surprised us and showed up at some point in the morning. He came bearing gift which he had personally picked out for each of us. It was so sweet! He gave me a new lantern and flashlight which will be great for when the power goes out or camping. He gave Wes some new tools. He gave Adelle a new movie (the princess and the goblin) and a magnet story book. He gave Lydia a new Spiderwick Computer Game and each of the girls got cracker jack.

We made sure to send him home with a bag of rolls (yes, one of the bags Wes had searched forever to find Christmas Eve), and some leftover ham.

Our day wasn't over yet though. Wes still had my parents to visit.
