Christmas Morning 2009

Santa was really thoughtful this year. He left a note on the coffee table explaining to the kids that their presents were up high on the mantel in gift bags and that they should wait for their Mom and Dad to wake up to open them. Mason did wake early, and he did find the letter... he did read it, but he thought it said something about presents on the porch FOR his parents...or something (I can't remember exactly...) but when I woke up and was walking with him to the living room, he said, "Santa left a note and something on the porch for you and Daddy".... I said "REALLY??" We had to go read the note together... :)

I love Maya's expression when she saw her pink Nintendo DS.

And Mason had ANOTHER note in his gift bag telling him to go look somewhere else for something that wouldn't fit in the bag...a BIKE for our house. He has one that we keep and Hidy and Gigi's.... he was MOST excited that this bike has a KICK STAND! haha

Maya got lots of Three Musketeers Barbies...

Brian wanted to get Mason a bow this year...

Maya was excited to see a big, fancy, pink tutu from Grandmother and Pops...

and immediately she put it on and twirled around!

Mason got a really cool air hockey table from Grandmother and Pops!

We all had a wonderful Christmas -- thanks to everyone for the gifts!
