We awoke to another 12 inches of snow that had fallen through the night: a winter wonderland! It was so pure and beautiful to see. We contained the kids as long as we could in the basement before they came up the stairs. They tore into their stalkings for fruit, headphones, candy, socks and underwear from Santa. Much to their parents' surprise, the often-naughty children received gifts from Santa that excited them. For Taylor, some new clothes, for Jaxson some clothes and a lava lamp for his new bedroom, for Austin a PS3 game, clothes, and a iHome for his bedroom, and for Alyssa some clothes, Orbees Spa and some barbies. Mom and dad gave Taylor a new stereo for her bedroom, Jaxson an iPhone 4, Austin a basketball and Seahawks blanket and Alyssa a Kid Kindle Fire.
We enjoyed a yummy breakfast of cinnamon rolls, hash browns and eggs. Later in the day, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Nicole came over to get their gift from mom and dad. They stayed for several hours as we watched a movie on our new TV and surround sound system (that Nicole helped us hook up). We did laundry and packed for our AZ trip too. It was the most wonderful day surrounded by our family!
