This has definitely been the best Christmas we've had so far! Karsten was beyond excited for Christmas and Santa. On Christmas Eve, Mark found an airplane with a blinking red light and told Karsten it was Santa, starting to deliver presents. But we told him he won't come to our house until he's asleep. He went running into the house, screaming to Ella that they needed to go to bed! It was hysterical! The next morning, Karsten was up first. We had the "Santa" presents unwrapped, under the tree. Karsten got a huge dinosaur that he can sit on, it plays music, eats leaves, moves his head and eyes. It's awesome! Karsten named it Bronco, after the horse he rode at the dude ranch. After Karsten got over the shock and excitement of his new toy, he looked at me and said, "This is all I ever wanted, this is just what I wanted for Christmas." My heart burst with joy! I love my son and I love what Christmas is - happiness, love and family. We have been so very blessed!
Little Ella wasn't as excited about Santa this year. She even got scared when we told her that Santa was coming to the house to drop off the presents! We had to reassure her that he loves her and would never hurt her! She woke up after Karsten and didn't see her present at first - started crying that Santa had forgotten her gift! She's just a tad bit dramatic! When she finally saw her present - she loved it! Ella got her first doll house. It's a Hello Kitty doll house with a whole family of Hello Kitty's and tons of furniture! She stays so busy, rearranging her furniture and playing house with her kitty family.
Karsten relaxing with Grandpa Rich before the second round of presents start. My mom, Rich, Megan, Mike, Ava and Mike's parents came over for more presents and breakfast.
Mom and Rich surprised us with a Wii! It has been so much fun! We all love it!
Little Ava in her new hat - to keep her warm when she heads up to Flagstaff to visit her other grandparents!
Ella decided she was hot - she went topless the rest of the morning.
Me-la (Grandma) got Ella a kid - friendly Karaoke system that has a video camera built in so you can see yourself on the TV as you sing. Needless to say, she loves it!
