Christmas Day

Finally, pictures from Christmas Day.

When the kids woke up (they actually didn't wake up early) we let them open up their stockings while we worked on breakfast. Ken made a yummy quiche, sorry no pictures. We sat down and ate breakfast together and then went into the living room to open presents. The way we open presents is we started with Caden, who got to pick a present out, which happened to be for Kailyn. Kailyn opens her present and then goes and picks a present for someone else, and so on until all the presents under the tree are open. Then one by one the kids find a piece of paper on the tree with their name on it. They then go on a treasure hunt to find their 'main' present. The kids all had a lot of fun hunting for their present. Caden was funny when he got to the final clue. He was suppose to find the Hi-Ho Cheerio game (as his clue), which had a big present sitting next to it. Caden got all excited and we thought he had found his present and then he said he had found Hi-Ho Cheerio. He had totally over looked the present.

It was a wonderful day. We spent most the day just relaxing and being together (which never happens). That night for our special Christmas dinner we had Salmon, baguettes, salad, mashed potatoes, and salad. It was all so good and didn't take much work to prepare.

It was a wonderful Christmas and it was so nice actually being able to celebrate on Christmas Day with Ken.

Kailyn showing Jordan the gift she got her and Jordan hugging Kailyn to say 'Thank you.'

Caden giving Jordan a kiss to say thank you for the present she got him.

Caden opening a present.
Jordan excited about her new purse from Grandma and Grandpa Bassett.
Dad opening his present from the kids.
I don't know. Do you think Jordan was excited about the baby stroller Grandma and Grandpa Jones sent? In fact, she has so much fun with it and has been so excited about it that Kailyn decided the other day that she wanted one too.
Caden was so excited about his new train from Grandma and Grandpa Jones that he couldn't even stand up. Here he is trying to stand up just before he fell on our trash bag full of wrapping paper.
The mess after everything was open.

Kailyn trying out her new roller skates that she and Jordan got from Santa on their treasure hunt.

Kailyn trying out a finger trap from Grandma and Grandpa Bassett. After getting her finger stuck a few times she decided she wasn't a fan (Ken and I thought they were quite funny).

Dinner time. The kids pointing to their favorite dish.

Ok so I don't know how to take good pictures of food. Although not the best picture, the food really was excellent.
