Santa Came! This year was great. I had everything all ready to go so I was in bed at about 10:30 (instead of 3:00am). Ethan woke up at 2:30, and I let him go peak so he could go back to sleep. Everyone else was up about 8:00. Here's what Santa brought...
Avery with her new play mat!
Haylee with her new American Girl doll, Elizabeth. She was so excited to find Elizabeth and her were in matching jammies.
Ethan with his new Lego's and Pokemon card and binders. The kids played for a little while and then we all got dressed for the day, so we could open presents.
Avery loves getting presents
Andy was in charge of taking pictures so we didn't get a lot of the kids with their presents, but he did get a lot of close-ups of their faces which are darling. Then we went to the Shippen's for a very yummy brunch! Grandma Kathy makes homemade cinnamon rolls, eggs, sausage, hash browns, hot cocoa, and orange juice. Best Christmas breakfast ever. Then we opened presents with everyone.
Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Skip got Haylee a duffel bag full of make-up!
Thanks dad she loves it, and I love the bright pink eyeshadow she puts on EVERY morning:)
They got Ethan a present as big as a card table! Any ideas on what it is?....a Carrom Board. He loves playing it with Grandpa, Dad, and Uncle Luke.
Avery trying to help Grandma rip into another one! After hours of fun at the Shippen's we headed to the Mac Gillvrays, for even more fun. Grandma Mac had planned a Nativity for the kids to act out. She had costumes for each character, and Grandpa Mac read the Christmas story from the scriptures. 
Avery as baby Jesus. She kept kicking off her "swaddling clothes"
Haylee was an angel, and she had a speaking part,"Peace on earth, goodwill to men." Ethan was a Shepherd with his own little lamb (his 18 mo. old cousin, who didn't want to wear her costume, or hang around for long) The Nativity was a hit and I think Grandma is making it a yearly tradition.

Grandma Mac finished Haylee's quilt Christmas morning. Haylee was so so excited! The quilt turned out beautiful (Thanks Grandma) We had a wonderful Christmas!

Jaquelyn wanted an AG doll, too. Of course, she neglected to mention that until after Santa was done shopping...maybe for her birthday, right?
Those are some cute pictures! Good job, Andy!
My mom tried to do the Navitiy thing too. Bentley was Mary but the costume looked more like an angel. Kaden acting as Joseph refused to sit still. Great pics!
Hey Summer- I am finally getting a link to your blog on mine! Sorry it took so long. Christmas looked like a success at your house. What's a carrom board? Am I out of the loop?
Avery looks so cute as baby Jesus. Your kids are so darling.
