On Christmas Eve we did some last minute shopping and then we went all around Idaho Falls and looked at the pretty lights. Carter really enjoyed it this year. He kept telling us which way we needed to look. After the lights we got dinner and went home to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol. After dinner the kids got to open their one gift which is always pajamas and then we had baths and they put their new pajamas on and then we left some cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph. Then it was off to bed. Carter was so excited it screamed all the way to his room and jumped into bed. Dave and I stayed up a little while longer and watched the Polar Express.
Christmas Morning!!!
On Christmas morning the kids slept in!!! They are up every morning by 6:30am except when I really want them up and then they sleep in until 8:00am and then Dave and I had to wake them. But when Carter got up and realized that it was morning he was so excited to see what Santa had brought. Macie didn't really know that anything was different except she had to scream and jump up and down because her big brother was doing it.
Carter got a V Motion from Santa. He was so excited.
He had to start it up and have dad help him start to play it.
Carter and Dave both got a new hat for Christmas. My two handsome boys!
This year there were only two things that Carter really wanted and that was the V Motion and a T Rex. He was so excited when he opened this from his Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Birch and saw his T Rex. He couldn't wait to get it out of the box. Macie loves it too. She keeps growling at it.
Macie got a whole set of Doll toys from Santa. She loved it.
Her favorite part of the stocking was of course the treats.
Macie got a bunch of dolls and some play food and a shopping cart this year. She had a blast opening the gifts.
She quickly stole Carter's hat and started wearing it. Then she wanted to sit with Daddy to finish opening her gifts. She got a puppy and puppy stroller from my parents.

What a fun Christmas we all had. Dave and I got a bunch of misc. things and then he got a gift from my parents that was a Wii game. We were both so confused because I knew that my mom knew that we had an Xbox 360 not a Wii. After being confused for a minute and then realizing we hadn't opened their gift to us yet we both looked at each other and jumped up and ran to get the gift. And sure enough they had bought us a Wii for Christmas!!!!! What fun. We couldn't believe it. Dave was so excited. And well I think I screamed a little with excitement.
Every Christmas Day all the cousins get around the Christmas tree and exchange gifts. They love it. Macie got a pony this year and Carter got a Zuh Zuh pet. What a fun Christmas.
