Christmas 2010

As in past years, the kids all slept in Lexi's room, hoping to get a peak of Santa's boots. Although they did not see his boots, he did make a stop at our house.

We told the kids they could wake us up at 6:00am Christmas morning but not before. At 6:01 we were greeted by 3 extremely excited kids. :)

We teased them for about 15 minutes, refusing to get out of bed.

Jeremiah went up to his room to get on some socks and found that Santa had set up a race track!

Back downstairs checking out the loot from Santa.

Digging in his stocking.

Trying to guess what is inside by feeling with our hands.

Around 11:00 we headed over to Grams and Pops condo.

I LOVE this family shot!!! Our faces truly show the joy of Christmas!
