Christmas Day

Since Christmas morning was also Sunday, we knew we needed to get the job done early so we could also get ready for church. The kids obliged, of course! Ezra slept downstairs in the fort with Ash and Brans. Kaylee is getting a little big for that stuff...she chose to stay in her bed. (Wise choice, I'd say!) Dad received a text message from downstairs asking if they could come up yet. (Isn't that funny? We would have just yelled upstairs!) So, we grabbed the baby, the camera, and got crackin'. Darrell sheilded them from seeing anything as they were coming up the stairs...we wanted them to see everything all at once. Dad played "Santa" and passed out gifts and the kids had a great time! Branson had his bathrobe on, so Ezra had to find his too (which is really too small). Poor Brans...everything he does Ezra wants to do to. His little shadow!

The best present Santa brought was gift certificates to Build-a-Bear for each of them. They all went together...Ezra for the first time. What an experience! Ezra took it very seriously.

And as quickly as it began...it was over. Funny! So much build up and anticipation, and after an hour it's all over. It was great though. Can't wait until next Christmas!
