On Christmas morning we have the kids line up in the hall way from youngest to oldest. They probably look so tired because their Daddy woke them up bright & early. Laun gets so excited for Christmas that he can't wait for the kids to wake up on their own so, he goes & wakes them up himself.
The boys were excited to see what was in the apple box under the tree. Santa brought them bunnies. Clayton was wanting a dog but, he was excited & suprised to see bunnies instead. Before Christmas Clay was telling Laun that he wanted an animal so, Laun told him to ask Santa for one. Clayton's reply was," I don't think Santa delivers live animals."
Marlee thought this whole stocking thing was pretty cool. She really loved the candy & her first toothbrush. The kids get a mango in their stocking & even Marlee got baby food that was mangos.
Porter loves to "guchi" his sister as he calls it, he says it means soft & then squezzes her. I told him that gucci is a type of purse brand & he assures me it means soft.
The bunnies got names already: the white one (has a dark nose) is called pepper & the black one (has a white nose) is called salt, confusing- I know
I made sour cream coffee cake for the 1st time ever. Growing up my mom made this every Christmas morning for breakfast so, we decided to start the same tradition. We also had egg nog-my boys are always asking for this when we are at the store.
Marlee got a doll from Santa, I couldn't believe how cute she was with it. She got real excited & started making loud noises & then "talked" really soft & sweet to it. It is so different having a girl.
Here are the kids near the tree with their presents. The boys really liked their new pets, watches, & real tool set. Marlee loved her doll & necklace.
Some talented elf made this home for the bunnies.
Marlee wanted to touch the bunnies so much, we finally just put her in the cage with them.
Since the boys got new pets today, they let their lizards go in the backyard. Some of their lizards names are: Fatty, Champion, Speedo, Serious, Color Coral, Speedy, Super cool dude-new trick...
Then the guys checked out their garden & watered it
Then they built a bunny traveling cage with their new tools.
This cage came in very handy when we traveled to visit family for the holiday time.
We enjoyed the rest of the day hanging out & eating ham & one of the boys favorites, sweet potatoes with marshmalows on top. The boys said that this was the best Christmas ever- holidays are so fun with children.
