We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year. We stayed home and stayed in our PJs all day! It was great. We opened gifts, played with those gifts, and had a nice Christmas dinner as a family! It was truly wonderful. We hope that all of you had an equally wonderful day!
On Christmas Eve, we set out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.
I loved Sarah's note! :)
Santa Came! Santa Came! Santa Came!
Opening the stockings on mommy and daddy's bed!
Sarah got a salon chair for her American Girl Dolls.
And a soccer uniform for the American Girl dolls!
Ben had a good time just tearing the paper!
More American Girl clothes!
More paper tearing!
American Girl PJs from Grandma!
"I'll get it!"
Mommy and Daddy gave Sarah a digital camera for Christmas! It was pink, of course!
All dressed up in their new clothes!
Opening presents is hard work!
Later on Christmas day, Grandpa Steve and Grandma Sandi (Tyson's dad and stepmom) came over with some BIG gifts!
He built an American Girl closet for Sarah!
And they gave Ben a very cool ride-on dump truck!
Trying on Aunt Susan's shoes.
It was 9pm and the kids were still playing with their toys!

On Saturday, Sarah was invited to go ice skating with her friend, Lauren. They had a blast!

It's tradition in our family to open one gift on Christmas Eve and it's always PJs!!!
Ben's PJs!
We also let the kids open one other gift from under the tree. Ben chose this fire truck from Grandma and Grandpa.
I gave Sarah the wrong gift to open! I thought this was her PJ box! OOPS! She didn't mind opening an extra gift, though! It's a Christmas Hannah Montana Doll that sings "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"!
Sarah picked Grandma and Grandpa's gift to open, too! Can you tell she got what she really wanted?!!?!?!?!?!?

Mia has not left Sarah's side since she opened her!
My cute kids under the tree!
