Christmas Day

Christmas always starts out on Christmas eve when we get to open our Christmas P.J.'s. The kids haven't realized the trend yet so the think that they are getting something really cool until they open P.J.'s. I was surprised when they were both thrilled with what they opened. They both especially enjoyed the slippers!
Hailey had a hard time going to sleep because she just wanted to get a sneak peak at Santa while he was putting out the presents. She promised that she would not look at the presents. I had to finally lay in bed with her and sing her songs for over an hour so that she would go to sleep! Ethan woke up first and walked right past the Santa gifts to the bedroom and didn't even remember it was Christmas morning! UNTIL Hailey woke up and started saying "Oh my gosh Santa is awesome!" Ethan then proceeded to run as fast he could into the living room to catch a glimpse at what he had also gotten. The first present that they got from us (well Dan really) was little kid sized 22 guns. I know what some of you are thinking, but they were SO excited about their new gun ownership!! Unfortunately it snowed ALL day on Christmas, so we didn't even get to try them out until our trip to Moab! They both proceeded to open the rest of their gifts shoes, clothes and other fun stuff.
Hailey ended up with a bunch of littlest pet shop and Ethan with a new parking garage for his cars. That was the biggest hit on Christmas day. They played with it for hours on Christmas morning! After all of our presents were opened one by one, we started making the Stubbs famous Christmas Crepes. Nothing is better on Christmas morning than the best crepes in the world with a sausage link wrapped inside and topped with strawberries and REAL whipped cream. AHHHH... Yum, yum. The rest of our fun day was packed with playing games, new toys and packing the truck for our trek back to Moab for a long Christmas vacation.
