Early Christmas Morning!

This Christmas started out very early with everyone looking for some coffee so that they could be Merry and Bright and prepare for what was about to start. It began as a quiet, festive celebration and after a quick bite to eat, turned into our usual screaming "look what I got" event. These pictures show some of the action.

Cubby showed up with his side kick - Freedom. These two have become buds.

Then some gooey, cinnamony, monkey bread.

I found that real mean do eat quiche if its got lots of bacon in it.

Nini found scratcher lottery tickets in her stocking and went right to work.

Dakota just assumed all the pink packages were for the princess.

Casey Jones - you are still my littlest boy even though you look more like a man every day.

Austin loved his buckaroo game.

It was definitely a lego year for Nathan. He will probably be busy for several months with all the lego sets he got.

Hailey loved her new, soft and cuddly robe from Mamie and Papa.

Hey Ryker, can Nana and Papa borrow those handcuffs. Never mind, we'd probably hurt ourselves anyway

Stop opening the gifts so slow, just rip it open and let us see.

Mikey loved his shirt, especially since he has worked so hard on the guns to go in it.

Coolness!

Poor Seth woke up not feeling very well but didn't want to miss out.

Somehow seeing green made him come back to life.

Austin checked out Ryker's new gas mask and fire set. Living with 3 guys makes me think I might need to get one of those masks. You know what I'm talking about.

I hope Dakota got some chapstick with those dolls, by the looks of things they might need it.

Sister poses.

My favorite!
