Christmas morning '08

Santa is pretty smart. Since he knows that Mason gets up early and Maya sleeps in late, Santa leaves their presents in big bags so they can open them together when everyone is awake.

Santa brought M&M a Pixos Studio Set. The kids had seen commercials for Pixos and both of them have asked for it. I had heard they were a mess and hard to do, but Santa got it anyway. (they have enjoyed it)

Santa did a good job bringing 7 Disney princess Barbies among other things.

Mason scored with some transformers and batman stuff.

Mason made a special picture for Grandmother and Pops along with a Gingerbread man.

Maya made a special Angel for Grandmother and Pops.

Maya got Gabriella "in her red dress." Then she opened a dress up Gabriella "white dress with the blue belt" and I predicted she would be changing from her dress up Alexa dress into that....and I was right. She immediately began dancing once she got it on. Julie, I don't know where you found this -- but it is perfect!

Mason made his way to Pops truck to find a new BASKETBALL Goal, or as Mason called it a "new basketball court."

Brian got new boots from his Mom and Dad. (and now Maya wants some pink ones)

Maya opened a Ballerina tutu from us... and again, she had to put it on right then.

Later Maya entertained us with her singing with her new Karoake machine.

Raider loved his new toys, treats and water bowl.

Maya playing with all her new stuff in her dress up Liana dress.





Later the basketball goal was ready for play.... Mason didn't forget how to shoot and score!


And Maya shooting the ball with yet her 6th dress of the day! This one, at least, was her Christmas dress.
