Christmas morning

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. The kids were so excited and we always enjoy getting to spend the day with family. Camden woke up at 4:30am and came running into our room. He was so excited having seen that Santa had come. He let Chris and I know that Santa had been there so we let him go check out what he could see without touching anything. He was awake for about 2 hours and finally fell back to sleep while trying to watch the clock until it said 6:45 so he could wake up Aubrey. She woke up around 8 and then we all got up!

This year the kids got each other gifts which was fun for them to pick out and buy for each other. Here Camden is opening the gift Aubrey got him. They have really had fun this break playing together. Most of their friends have gone out of town, so they have spent almost all of their time with each other, and they really do play so well. I love that they are close and can enjoy playing together.
This is such a cute picture to me. Aubrey was opening up her gift from her great Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Joe. It was an American Girl dog, that she loved. You can see how excited she was, after all the anitcipation of what was in that little red box with the pretty white bow! Both kids were happy and excited about every single gift they recieved- it was so fun to watch them.
After opening gifts you must play!! I loved how Camden sat right by Chris watching him put some of his toys and legos together. I think Chris was having as much fun as Cam!

After this we went to MiMi and PawPaw's for more gifts and family fun. We are lucky to have so many people that love us! After Egg McColliers and some deicious grilled duck, we headed out to see most of the extened Mokry family. The kids had fun with cousins and we enjoyed more family time.
We have definately had a wonderful year and Christmas. We are most grateful for our God and that Jesus was born on Christmas day. We try to make sure that is the focus and we celebrate the true meaning. How blessed we all are that we are saved and loved by Jesus! We are thankful for all of our family and the time we get to spend with them. As the new year begins we look back fondly on this past year and hope for another wonderful year in 2011!
