Christmas Day

Early Christmas morning the kids ran down the stairs & saw this. Grandpa Ron was there to witness the looks on their faces as they saw their surprises. He's been there the past few years early enough to see this and says he enjoys seeing them so excited.

(still loving all our "crowded" ornaments by the kids)

Best part: Dumping out the Stockings!

Santa brought Kaylea a pink/purple dolly-Princess playset

& Santa brought Dude a Big Buzz Lightyear

...don't hit him in the face! Tim's famous for that.

Kaylea wanted this Junie B. Jones Top Secret Journal Book so bad!

Spence was a little excited about his Bagukan Dragonoid thingybopper

Over to Tracey's for some yummy Eggs Benedict:

Then to the Curtis Household:

Daylan loved his mask & sword

~From my parents: A "Greg Olsen" painting Personally Signed "To the Campbell Family" of the Savior overlooking Jerusalem~The symbolism of this picture is that later that day we'd find out we would actually BE GOING to Israel with Tim's parents & siblings!

The Curtis Cousins (~Campbells & Goodwins~)

Playing the Annual "Gift Game" @ the McCleves

Another long & busy but wonderfully family-filled day.
