Christmas 2013: The morning at our house



On Christmas Eve the kids all sleep up in the playroom together.  We make them wait until 7 AM before they can bother us, but they're not allowed to come down the stairs until Daddy comes and gets them.

I guess we were running late this Christmas morning...
I heard them up way before this.  They must have been watching the clock very closely. 

Dave went to get them and herded them up the stairs so they couldn't see anything.  They get to stay in our room until Grandma and Papa Nelson come over at 8.  They passed the time watching the Christmas movie Arthur.  Grandma slept in this morning so the kids had to stay in our room a whole TEN extra minutes.  But they made it and we stopped on the stairs for a quick picture. 


And then they finally could walk (I mean run) down the stairs. 

I love how Harper is always last. 

The kids saw their Santa presents first except Logan...
You can definitely tell he's looking and wondering why he doesn't see it. 
It was hidden by Rylan's foot.   Dave had to point it out to him. 
The kids were very ready to open all their presents. 
And then we did stockings...
Their was a special video in Daddy's stocking that we watched.
It showed our family ONE more big present.
WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND IN FOUR DAYS!!

We ate our breakfast and then the kids wanted to try out their new motor bikes. 
About this time we discovered that Santa had left poor Logan a dud of a PSVita.  It would only come up as a black screen.  So we bought him a new one on the 26th and sent the other back to Santa's workshop (aka Amazon).  Logan said to Dave, "why would Santa leave me a present that won't work?" 
Ry and Presley were very good at these and they had so much fun.  Harper tried out her bike too and did a great job too.  I didn't get a picture of her. 
We got ready and we were off to Papa Berries house. 
Getting ready for Christmas Round Two.
