Christmas Morning with 3 kids

Jaden woke up first (from sleeping in the basement with Tyler). He came in our room about 7:15am and asked when Santa would be here. I said I didn't know so crawl in bed and go back to sleep. Not knowing better, he crawled in bed and actually went back to sleep!! About 30 minutes later, Tyler comes RUNNING and YELLING, "Santa's been here...." and we all hop up! We try to stall the boys so we can get our cameras ready. Paige had slept on her Princess couch on our floor, so she woke up too, when Tyler came in yelling.

Jaden found his Santa gift first...a Hot Wheels Bike!

"It's what I wanted," Jaden said.

Paige had a note next to her stocking from Santa --

saying that he put her gift up in her room.

So, the kids take off RUNNING to Paige's room.

Of course, they knew what it was.

Tyler said, "Paige, it's your big girl bed!!!"

Here's Paige sitting on her "Princess Bed".
She was loving it!

(When Paige sat on Santa's lap, she asked for a Barbie, that's why she had a Barbie on her bed.)Santa took down the crib, assembled the new bed, and re-arranged her room.

Can you believe Santa had time for all that?

And, here's our Princess when she found out she doesn't get to sleep in her crib anymore.
"I want my baby bed," Paige wailed. She cried HARD for a few minutes.

We really thought we were in trouble.

Tyler also had a note from Santa-- saying his gift was in the basement.

"My Wii," Tyler yelled as he RAN down the stairs.

As you can imagine....all my pictures of Tyler in the basement, discovering his Wii, are one BIG BLUR. (Not a little blurry, but one blurry blog.)

So, here's Tyler doing something with his new Wii remote.

Next we pass out the gifts from mom and dad.

The kids get to open one at a time.

(Jaden looks a little sleepy still.)

Again, Jaden's favorite gift may have been the used Barney memory game.
(Thank goodness for Ebay--I mean Santa.) He also got: dragster cars, a doctor kit/outfit, a remote control Speedracer car, a Batman computer....
Again, Tyler's picture is blurry. He is normally a fast paced kid, but even more so on Christmas morning. Here he is opening books that he can read and activities to do after he reads the book. He also got: transformers, a transformer computer, a claw to pick stuff up off the floor,
and a Nurf basketball goal....

Paige got: Princess dolls, a scooter (which she road around the house for 2 days), Dora book, doll-house furniture, a tent, and a minivan to go with her dollhouse...

It was a fun morning. Of course they want everything opened right away.
We then have to get showered and ready to go to Gma and Gpa Roth's for Christmas again.
We are so blessed!
