Christmas!

The kids had so much fun on Christmas morning!   Madilyn couldn't wait to get downstairs and see what Santa had left.  They had fun playing with their toys for awhile.  And then a little later that afternoon we did a web-cam call with Mike's parents in Qatar.  Maddie had a lot of fun showing them her presents and talking to them.  Later that day my parents came down and stayed the night with us.  We watched "Emma Smith: My Story" and had a great time.  Anyway, it was way fun to have Christmas morning for the first time with just us and our kids!  They're getting to a good age now where it's fun to be at home :). 

Talk about a white Christmas! 

 

Maddie's stuff right after Santa came.  She got the American Girl twins with a stroller and bed for them.  She also got lots of books and new stuff for her dolls. 

Max's stuff...He got a new table, a toy box, a couple of trains, some books and "Finding Nemo".  Oh, and his favorite present, Curious George!  He loves it and carries it everywhere. 

 

First glimpse of her stuff.  Maddie named her twins Holly and Molly.  It kinds comes out more like "Holy Moley" which is awesome.  Cracks me up every time :)

Max checking out his presents...  I've got to get him off his binky.  He's an addict. 

Max and George, best buds.

Enjoying his pop-tart like a big boy.
