Christmas Day 2011

 Christmas morning we got to go over
to Steve and Brookes and watch the kiddo's
open their Christmas presents.
Emily was thrilled with her new kitchen!
 Camden loves cars!
 Emily also got a cash register and all the fixings
to play store.  She loves it!
 Natalie got a beautiful snow globe from Steven and Brooke.
I have never seen one quit so beautiful.
 Camden got a new soccer ball from Natalie.
 Steven and his family.
 Santa really did come to our house this year.
It was kind of a "different" Christmas with no kids at  home.
Natalie must of came to our house while we were at
church and filled our stockings and left presents.
I thought that was so thoughtful of her.
It made my day.  She will probably never know
how much I appreciated that kindness, it meant
so much.

 After church the kids all came.
Wynn had to go to work for a couple of hours but
planned on being home for when Matt would call.
Camden loved his sled from Grandma and Grandpa.
 Actually, Emily and Camden both loved 
to have us pull them around in the sled.
The kids were so much fun!
 Always time for a nap!




 Oh my, we got treated so wonderful for 
Christmas this year.
I loved each and everyone of my presents.
I have such thoughtful kids.
 But, the best present of all was getting to talk to Matt.
We put the phone on speaker and we all just
sat around and listened to him talk.
It was very entertaining. 
He is doing so well and was so happy.
Warmed my heart to know he is okay.
I knew he was but something about
hearing their voice  I just got the
reassurance that he is just fine.
Mother's Day is along time from
now.  
Then. . . 
Drum roll please. . . . 
While we were on the phone with Matt
Sam announced to us all
that Hailey is pregnant!  I was so
surprised and yet so happy for them.
So fun how he told us when everyone was
there to hear the news.  Yup, July 7th,
we'll get a new little grand baby.
We couldn't be happier.  They
will be great parents.  

We then enjoyed the movie
Mr. Poppers Penguins.

It was a perfect day!
My heart is so full and I feel so thankful
for all my many, many blessings. 
Family is everything and I'm so glad
we got to spend this special day with them.
Wynn's Mom and Dad were with us,
My Mom, my Aunt Pat and Uncle Sam.
I'm so grateful for a wonderful family. 

Steven and Brooke are off to Island Park to spend
some time with Brooke's family.
Sam and Hailey are off on a 5 day ski trip.
My Mom went to Utah to see my brother and his 
family.
I guess we'll just settle in and get some
things done around the house.
