Jonah was the first one up on Christmas morning. He burst into my room at 6:45am and declared "Mom, Santa came! And he brought me presents! I got on the good list! Even though I was a little naughty!" He said this with amazement, clearly he was worried he might get a lump of coal.
Jonah then woke up everybody else and by 7:00am we were ready to open presents. We first had family prayer and sang "happy Birthday" to Jesus.
Lea and Jonah both found new gloves in their stockings.
Jonah has been asking for toy keys for about 5 months.
Lea planned all year to ask Santa for the "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" movie.
Lots and lots of toy cars!
Dan got a yummy gift from Aunt Karina - rich cheeses and crackers!
Dan's favorite game from childhood - RISK - thanks Santa!
Micah really got into the presents too!
New spoons, yummy snacks, and new toys - not bad for his first Christmas!
Lea was very cute and bought everyone a gift from the dollar store this year. She used all her money from the tooth fairy and mommy chipped in a little too.
And yes, Micah is crawling! He started crawling just this month!
New sheets from Grandma and Grandpa Leighton - nice!
Rubber blocks from Aunt Cheryl to baby Micah.
Yummy!
Jolly Micah thoroughly enjoying his first Christmas morning with the family!
Lea made a fabulous calendar for Mommy and Daddy! It is very well done and we are so proud of Lea in all that she is learning this year.
Playdough from Uncle David and Aunt Kara - thanks!
Cuddle bugs with Grandma - we love Grandma so much!
And last but not least Lea and Jonah scored big time from Aunt Karina who gave them scooters! We had a wonderful Christmas this year and our family have been blessed by our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
