Christmas Morning ...

December 25, 2016

Early Christmas morning ... coffee was brewing in the kitchen ...

 while the grandchildren were waiting up in their bedroom ... 

for the sign that they could run down and see what Santa had brought them ...

They couldn't wait to check out their stockings ...

the adults (still a little sleepy) ...  were seated on the couch ... 

and excited to watch them ...  as they checked out every item that they found ...

They were also delighted to recieve Nerf guns from a special Santa ...

the war would start after all the gifts were opened ...

and I know that grandpa and daddy will be taking turns ... at taking shots ...

After the stockings were emptied ... all their little gifts were put into a box ... 

to keep everything separated ...

Nathan was the elected Santa ... wearing the official Santa hat ...

to hand out the gifts from under the tree ...

 

 

The first gifts to be opened were from Daigen ... Nixon ... Uncle Ian and Aunt Kendall ...

Craig received a model of a 55 Ford F100 Street Rod ... James received a Heli Ball which hovered above his hand ... and a small wireless speaker ...

Ella received a few Shopkins sets ... 

The grandchildren continued to open gifts and were so excited and thankful ... 

with each and everyone of them ...

Cards and money from Aunt Linda and Uncle Dave ...

as well as Aunt Cindy and Uncle Rob ...

 

 

Ella loved her new pink bathrobe and her own fuzzy blanket ... and hot pink bean bag chair ...

Craig received a Model kit with paint ... brushes ... glue for him to build his models ... and his most precious was his Remote  Control Car ...

James was  over the moon excited to receive his Drone and the Xbox NHL 2017 game ...

 

 

Daddy received lots of hugs and kisses ... 

it was wonderful to see how thankful they were for all their gifts ...

We had given Nathan a mirror for the house ...

 

Even though Mike was not feeling well ...

he would not miss watching the children open their gifts on Christmas morning ...

Mike did open his gifts ...

receiving a new quilted flannel jacket for working ...

Mike was not quite sure on what the gift I had gotten him was ...

he sure had a puzzled look ...

He received a Lund BedXtender for his truck ... 

to keep items from sliding to the from of the box or to extend the length of the box ...

when the tailgate is down ...

Santa also brought him a  new weather station for the house ...

It was a beautiful morning with our family and friends ...

 opening all of our gifts ... and sharing special moments ...
