The good stuff :)

Just as planned Santa came to our house after we were all sound asleep :) Thank you Santa! We are so grateful for all the fun gifts....

Santa brought Kiah her Dora bike that she has been asking for non-stop for the past 3-4 weeks. Santa did not disappoint! She loves her bike and she is getting really good at riding it. Evan was really specific about what he wanted...  a yellow truck, with a scoop in front and a digger in back. The pictures don't show much excitement... I think he was still a little sleepy when he opened it. He loves his truck and he wants to take it everywhere! Unfortunately we don't let him take it with him to church...

Mommy and Daddy gave Kiah her first Cabbage Patch doll :) I love the way they smell... don't you? It was a surprise baby... after you open the box you find out if it is a girl or a boy. Kiah's was a boy and his name was Enrique... we changed it to Macks in honor of our little Macky :)

For once in my whole entire life I surprised Dallas! It was not easy. I got him the Readers Digest Christmas Song Book. He is really happy with it... too bad Christmas is over. I also got him a Nutcracker and some nuts... every Christmas he asks for them and finally I got them for him.

Poor Dallas got to spend Christmas sick in bed. He thought the day before (after having been sick) that he was getting better.... we were wrong. By that evening he was doing much better. 

Dallas was so sweet and bought me this pretty mirror :) I love it and have been wanting one since we moved here. Thanks Dallas!!

My favorite part of the day was having Christmas dinner with our good friends. The food was wonderful and we had SOOO much fun, as always. These kids love each other so much and always have a great time together. It was so fun to see them play with their new toys and to enjoy running around together. Dallas and I had fun too :) It is so nice to have so many good friends around to spend special days with. We are so lucky!

I have more to show... of course! I still want to thank our wonderful families for the gifts the sent us, but first I need to get the pictures together. I will be posting more very soon!
