Christmas

Santa came! He brought the kids some fun surprises. (In case you are wondering, those are both used, we really don't have that kind of money.)

































Opening Stockings. They both enjoyed the candy in the stocking and it took a little coxing the open the presents inside.














RJ really wanted to drive the jeep right away. To bad, Santa forgot to set up the battery.















Oh, look what else Santa brought. RJ was so excited there is a really cute video below of him opening this present.













It is his very own computer! The Leap Frog Click-Start. Just in the price range for a little boy wanting a computer. He loves it.





















It didn't take too long for Savannah to figure out how to open presents. After a few tears, she started ripping like crazy. She had to learn fast, if she didn't RJ was ready to open them for her and she wasn't going to let that happen.
















Daddy got what he really wanted. Santa brought him an RC indoor helicopter. In his mind, Christmas was complete.













RJ is thanking Savannah for her gift.
















Yes! A game for his new computer, thanks Grandma.

















Accessories for her doll house.






















I just loved this picture. It was too funny. Look at Savannah's face, she doesn't seem too happy.



















Thanks Grandma!





















It is a set of Mr. Potato Heads!

















Mommy's Quilt.














She had to wrap up and walk around in it.












Every year my grandmother has wrapped my a special present in gold wrapping paper. It was the last present we got to open at her house and the most anticipated. The Gold wrapping has always been a big deal to us grandkids. When Margaret came up to visit, she brought with her many of our Christmas gifts so our family didn't have to ship them. She had to take them on the plane unwrapped but she made sure she brought the gold wrapping paper so she could wrap them back up and we would have our Gold present. I was really glad she did, because Christmas isn't Christmas without Grandmother's Gold Presents.














RJ's Gold Present.




















Savannah's Gold Present. I have a Scrapbook Lay Out in mind, for these pictures. I took them just so I could Scrap this fun tradition.
















My Grandparents didn't send Jared a Gold present, but they sent me a check to buy him something from them. Because Margaret and I made such a big deal about the gold wrapping paper, Jared told me that I had to wrap his gift from them in gold paper as well. He didn't want to be left out, he had to have his Gold Present too. The best I could find was some gold tissue paper. But I manged to get him a gold present. Grandmother promised next time she will remember to send Jared some gold paper if she has me buy his gift again.

Grandmother and Grandfather, Thank You for your gifts.
















Savannah is mad because Daddy is trying to help her unwrap this present.
















We are finished and look at the mess. Thank you everyone for sending up our gifts. We love and miss you all. Next year we promise to be in California with you all.













RJ trying out his "new computer" (It hooks up to the TV, if you're wondering)















Look out Martha Stewart, Jennifer made an awesome Chocolate Peppermint Tart!


We went to my Aunt and Uncle's House in Rexburg for Christmas dinner. We brought the dessert and the special orange jello (only this time we tried raspberry)












Savannah enjoying the whip cream off the beaters.





















It was a yummy Tart. We made it last year as well.
