Christmas Day

We made it until 7 am.

Then I found out that Jon had already gone downstairs and peeked at everything. 

This is him acting surprised! 

 See that is true surprise.

 Lily was kind of a lets open each toy now and play with it before moving on- not such a bad thing. 

 Roller blades for Joey.

 Barbie clothes and dolls for Arabella and the apron she is sporting in most of the pics.

 Arabella got a guitar from Grandma and Grandpa Rabner- I did not even know that is what she wanted but she was really happy to open it. 

 Lily managed to cut her finger in the process of opening and it would not stop bleeding. We had to pause the joyous activities to bandage her up. She actually left the band-aid on. 

 The girls were given this adorable baby doll ergo carrier by their Pope cousins. Grandma and Grandpa Rabner gave her the doll. She was definitely looking the little momma part. 

 Arabella declared Happy Birthday Jesus when she made this cake!

 The boys were thrilled to get Skylanders Swap Force and spent too many hours playing to today but they were having a great time together. 

 Our camera batter died about this time but as you can see, everyone was happy. We got some great new camping equipment from G and G Rabner. A new vacuum for our new floors from G and G Bird. Peter and I gave each other hew floors.

Having extra hands to help get toys out of packaging was so much fun! We had a wonderful Christmas Day filled with love, toys, relaxing, and great family time. 

I am thankful for this Christmas season and that it reminds us to think of our Savior and to try to be more like him. I hope I can be better about following his example.
