Christmas Day

Santa did come while we were all sleeping.

 Five excited kids wait at the top of the stairs in their new Christmas pajamas to see what they got for Christmas.

 They came down the stairs to check out everything they got.

 Kaitlin's Santa gifts.

 Jared's Santa gifts.

 Heather's Santa gifts.

 Luke's Santa gifts.

 Michelle's Santa gifts.

 Overview of the room.

 The whole family got a game table.

 We also got a new TV and an entertainment center.

 And of course, Santa left us all some oranges, nuts, and chocolate.

 Jared likes flying his new RC helicopter.

 Kaitlin got rich!

 Luke loves his new pillow pet.

 All of the kids got pillow pets this year.

 Michelle has a cute butterfly.

 Christmas was a little different this year, because it was on a Sunday.  We had Sacrament Meeting at 9:00.  So, we got up to see what Santa brought and went through the Christmas stockings.  Then, we ate a good breakfast, and got ready for Church.  We only had Sacrament Meeting since it was Christmas.  After church we got busy opening presents.

 Tracie and Grandpa and Grandma Bartholomew showed up just as we were opening presents.  Grandpa helped put together some toys, and Tracie and Grandpa helped us move out the old entertainment center, and put in the new one as well as hook up the new TV.  Then, we tried out the new TV. 

 Luke could sing the song, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth".

 All of that Christmas stuff wore Dave out.

Luke and Heather got new roller blades, so they tried them out on our neighbor's basketball court.  Notice, it wasn't much of a White Christmas this year.  Later in the evening, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell's house for dinner.  It was a great day.
