I warn that there are quite a few pictures in this and the following post. If you have some kind of lame problem with this, then go stalk someone else's blog! Ok, moving on....WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS! Anna woke up at 6:45 whispering to herself. She came and laid in bed with me (Mike was downstairs with a sick baby) and then Ty got up at about 7. I yelled down to Mike (which consequently scared the crap out of him) and once his heart went back to a normal rhythm he joined us upstairs. Mike armed himself with the camera as each kid went down to the sparkling lights of the tree and the world of presents. Drum roll please......
This is a big turtle that the kids can climb through and explore. Sophie thought we bought it for her and kept attacking the kids throughout the day.
Don't ya just want to squeeze those cheeks!
Of course Anna goes straight for Brayden's toys.
This came to us yesterday by way of our Bishop. He brought this huge gift to our door and just said "here ya go". I was a little perplexed and asked why he was giving us a gift, and of course, I was expecting an answer that praised our intelligence, good looks, and charm, but no, he had a different story. An acquaintance of his had just been on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and had received prizes. They didn't need this and wanted the Bishop to give it to someone who could, so he thought of us. Thanks Bishop, Ellen guest, and of course Ellen herself :)

(Those are my toes in the back ground in case you were wondering)
Jen and Aaron gave this to Anna and she wore it all morning. She not obsessed at all!
I'm sure he'll hate this photo later in life, but how cute is this baby. At least it's not as bad and the "pink bunny" costume from "A Christmas Story".
We had a few visitors...Papa Winslow and then Matt and Grandma Winslow. Then we were stupid and thought we'd eat out. Yeah, the only thing we could find open was a nasty Mexican place. It was pretty gross. Then we ended the night by seeing "Bedtime Stories". Very good! It was funny and clean. Our kids laughed all the way through it and so did we. What a good day. I sure hope you all had an equally if not more rewarding Christmas. Thank you all for the gifts and cards. We have enjoyed them a lot. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
