Christmas morning!  The girls came and woke us up at 7:26 a.m.  We told them 7:30, so that was pretty good.  Here is everyone in the kitchen waiting to go see their presents from Santa!

Grandma and Grandpa Gazdik came over to watch all the excitement, too.  It’s a good thing they got here fast!  Kevin recorded all the unwrapping from Santa on a video, but I’m not going to include it here.  You’ll have to use your imaginations.  Everyone seemed really happy with their presents.  Either we did really well this year or else we have sweet girls who are grateful for whatever the efforts of their parents.  Maybe both!  Among a few other things, Savannah got some clothes and Avatar season 2, Sarah got a tennis racquet and a recorded book (Goose Girl!), Megan got a new scooter, Mariah got a Tangled Barbie and a CTR ring, the twins got some games and a cardboard playhouse that they can decorate with markers, Beth got a bouncy pony, and Ben got a truck.  Santa is so nice!!

After all that, Kevin made us some French toast, sausage, and orange juice.  Thus rejuvenated, we headed back to the Christmas tree to open presents from each other.  It was a really fun morning.

 

These are the dolls that I made for the little girls.  Cheyenne and Calianne made us calendars at school!

Just gotta tell ya, that the pajamas Sarah is wearing, she sewed last week!  Remember the fabric we bought because she was bored way last spring?  Yep.  She got her done!  Cute, huh?

Everybody’s cute!!!

Later that day, we had a nice ham dinner back at our house.  We also played a lot of games, as everyone got a new one for Christmas.  It was a wonderful, lazy day and at the end of it Cheyenne and Calianne informed me that now we had to wait the very most days for next Christmas to come!  Well, they are right about that.
