Merry Christmas!

This morning we woke up to a beautiful morning. The kids slept until about 7:30 or so, along with the rest of the house. As Adam and I were getting the cameras set up and getting ready to go get the kids, we looked down and there was Owen, who had unzipped his jammies and wandered an out into the kitchen. Owen has put everything together and now climbs down off his bed and opens the door. Merry Christmas to me and Adam, right?!

We opened presents, Owen saw his trike that Santa brought him. He ran over to the trike and sat down. He would get off, open a present and then hop right back on the trike. It was cute. The trike we got him is pictured at the left, minus the canopy. I'm now seriously considering getting him the canopy. We'll see.

Once the presents were opened and phone calls were made, it was time to put the kids down for their naps. Keeping in mind what Owen has already done this morning, he did it MULTIPLE times when trying to put him down for a nap. Needless to say, the door knob has now been turned with the lock on the hall side of the door. We said good night and locked the door behind us. (It took Adam and me each 3 times to put him down). The next thing we heard was Owen knocking on the door for him to be let out. So sorry, Onie B, ain't happenin'. Hopefully, he'll figure out that nap time is nap time and there's no getting out. I'm dreamin' I realize, but isn't this the time of year for that kind of thing anyway?

Adam and I spoiled one another with a new camera this year. We actually got it on Black Friday when Ritz was having their smokin' deals. We got the Nikon D40X model and love it. It takes beautiful pictures that are sharp and clear. Now, we (okay me) just need to figure out all of the features on the camera.

Anywho. We want to wish you each a very merry Christmas and hope you are with those you love, enjoying the reason why we celebrate this holiday. May you all continue to feel the love of the Savior in your life.
