Our Christmas day started with a 7am wake up and waiting a few minutes for Aunt Marge to get here. Once she got here we started our traditions; reading in the Bible, getting our papers out from last year to see what gift we gave Christ and to think about how we did, writing a new gift to Christ that we are going to give him this year and letting the kids break through the gift paper that we put over the door to the family room every year so there can be no peaking :-).
I put pictures of some of the kids favorite gifts. The triplets love their new wake board, Tyler got a vinyl picture of himself wake boarding at Lake Powell that we put on his bedroom wall, Ryan got his Electric guitar that he has been begging for for the last year, Jenna got a snowbaby (her very first on a collection she is now beggining) and Meagan got a snowglobe from Chase (something she has been collecting for a little over a year now. The kids also got a new trampoline that mom made them follow around the house for clues that led them eventually to the garage because we weren't about to set it up or move the heavy box into the family room. They have been begging us for a new "springy" tampoline ever since the last one I got was a springless (safer) trampoline and it "just doesn't bounce very good". We are waiting until the Triplets birthday in April (Spring) to set it up though.
Dave suprised me with a new digital camcorder and I got dave a Kindell (sp?).
We are sure glad that we have Marge. It doesn't quite feel like Christmas if there is no family around.
Onto more family traditions; Dave makes yummy omlettes made to order. This is a tradition that his family (dad) did and we have passed it down to our family. Mom likes this tradition because she can clean up Christmas while Dad makes breakfast. the kids enjoyed their new games (of coarse Chase completely disappeared to play his new Wii Spiderman game Ryan got him for Christmas), and Marge stayed around for half the day to play with us. Dave made most of the dinner too and, as always, it was DELICIOUS! We usually hit the movie theaters on Christmas day but were having too much fun with all the games that Steve and Darcy got us. Our new favorite game is "Tiki Topple". The only thing is that it is only up to 4 players. It is fun though so check it out!
