Christmas 2010

At 7:30am we were woken by a very excited seven year old saying "mama, mama, it's Christmas morning, lets see what Santa brought!" Followed by "Oh my gosh!!! He brought me a red and black bike and new bedding just like I asked for!!! He even ate most of his cookie, drank the milk and the reindeer ate their oatmeal!" From that point on it took maybe a total of 20 minutes for us to get through all our presents. Santa was very good to Madelyn and Ryan out did me on the gifts as he does every year. He is a very good gift giver.

 Ryan was the first one to try out the new bike.

  A cute ornament from Madelyn.

 We both received very nice letters and drawings from Madelyn.

Goodness such a sight for sore eyes! BLECH!

 More DVDs, my goodness this child could open a red box with all her movies.

How exciting a new pink rug for her room.

 Weeding through all the gifts!

 Testing out her new bike, complete with a black wire basket.

Trying out her new bedding.

After gifts I made bacon and toast for breakfast, which trust me, is a real treat. Then we spent the day relaxing and enjoying our new toys. For dinner Ryan grilled a delicious steak and before we knew it Christmas was over. All the fuss and hype and it was over in a flash, but we made time to focus on the real meaning of Christmas and thanked God for our many blessings.
