Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas again this year. It was nice and white. We enjoyed some sun in California, but Christmas is always better for me in the snow!!! The kids slept in this year. Peyton officially slept through the night for the fist time, what a present to me!!! He woke up about 6:30 and the other two about 7:30.

Thank goodness for videos. We can remember all the excitement for years to come.

Stockton loved his star wars toys. (so did his dad) He and Andy played star wars all morning.

Abby always has such a joyful look on her face. It is fun to watch her open presents.

Petyon loved the basketball hoop. He was dunking before we even showed him what to do.

Abby got some doll house furniture, little pet shop club house and some pets, some barbies and princess polly pockets, some fingernail polish and sparkly lip gloss. And a few other things.Grandma Haskell made them all little blankets to cuddle with while she and grandpa go on their mission to Boston.
Peyton didn't get a whole lot. It is hard to buy a lot of new toys for him when there are already so many hand me downs from the other two. He got a basketball hoop, an elmo farm, several small teething toys and some stuffed animals.

Stockton had a theme Christmas. He got all Star Wars stuff. He got a whole bunch of action figures, three aircrafts, and two light sabers. He also got the whole series on DVD, as well as a few non star wars odds and ends.

Thanks to everyone who sent us money and gifts. Going to Disneyland and Sea World was part of our Christmas this year, so we used the money towards that. We had a great Christmas and know that we are so fortunate to be able to enjoy everything that we had. Thank you to all our generous relatives who give us so much! We hope to teach the kids to appreciate and have gratitude for all they are so lucky to get.
