Christmas Day!

Christmas Day at the Smith's was wonderful. It was a relaxing morning and the kids, minus Ava were happy and laughing. They were so excited that Santa had come.
Ava on the other hand was stomping, yelling and freaking out over the Christmas paper. She was not to happy that we woke her up early. She slowly came out of it though, when she started getting presents.
I think these kids got SPOILED.


I loved our Christmas tree this year.
The stockings stuffed to the brim.
Santa was definitely at our house this year.
Parker got a phonecall from Santa this Christmas and Santa told him that he liked Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, so Parker left one for him. It looks like Santa enjoyed it.
Hannah thought it was hilarious that Santa ate the gingerbread mans arm and leg. Hannah said, "I thought for sure he would eat his head." haha
Ready to come down to check out the presents.
Stocking time.

Ava loved the harmonica that Santa gave her. She was playing us some tunes all morning.
There were two things that Hannah really wanted this year, a unicorn pillow pet and the Barbie motorhome. Can you see how happy she is that Santa delivered the pillow pet?
Parker and Hannah were so good to help Ava open her presents.
Ava got a piano and she was super excited. She was clapping and standing on the box.
Parker and his plasma ball. He was thrilled.
Hannah started screaming when she opened the Barbie motorhome, she could barely contain herself. She kept yelling, "He got it for me. Santa got it for me!"
The one thing that Parker really wanted this year was the Lego Hero Factory Furno Bike. He was also screaming and jumping around when he opened this present.
Hannah playing with the Barbie Motorhome and the Barbie nurse set she got. She was in barbie heaven.
Parker building his new legos.
Jason right in on the action as well. These two love Legos.
Our after picture. The kids have loved playing with their toys!
We then headed to Papa and Grammie Olson's later that day.
For what I will call "2nd Christmas."
Parker and Carter and their nerf guns. Hannah got one too, so she could defend herself against the boys.
Ava and her new doggie pull toy. She loves this thing and thinks it is hilarious.
Hannah got the Blythe Littlest Pet Shop from Papa and Grammie, she was thrilled.
Ryan sporting the viking hat. I just realized he was holding a pocket knife in his hand. Don't mess with a man wearing a viking hat!
Carter in his "How to trian your Dragon" viking gear. He looked great! He takes his viking job very seriously.
Ava playing with her new barn. She loves all the animals.
Parker and his new Transformer race car.
We had a great Christmas day. WE ALL GOT SPOILED!! We ate sooo much yummy food and just enjoyed spending time together!
We can't believe Christmas is already over. The kids already told me that they can't wait for next year!
