On Christmas morning, Noah was the first to awaken. He was SO excited to get things started!
He got his hugs from his dad, and then took a peak to see what was under the tree. He was told quickly, though, that he couldn't open ANY presents until the whole family was together. Therefore, he immediately took off to round up his siblings.
However, it didn't take him long to have a breakdown, because his brothers didn't want to wake up. He was so sad that noone else shared in his enthusiasm...poor thing!
Thankfully, Gabriel and Kela shortly followed down the stairs into the living room, so he perked up a bit.
However, they started to get a little bored playing the waiting game too. What in the world was keeping the older boys!!!!? Gosh, come on already!!!!
Don't you want your presents???Well, the truth is...the favorite thing for our kids to get into on Christmas morning is their stockings. They love exploring all the nooks and crannies inside their stockings to try and find their money.
That's really what it all boils down to...money! =) "Where is it? I want it! Show me the money!" LOL!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!!!! FINALLY! We can start!!!
Noah was ecstatic! He was SO happy to get his hands on his stash of goodies.
Kela enjoyed her treats too, especially her snacks and socks.
Gabriel found his money behind his photo...hahaha...sneaky little sucker!
And, Brandon was happy to get some more pajamas, but even more thrilled that he had some more dough to spend...of course.
Frankie searched his stocking for his money, but for some reason it had fallen on the floor without him realizing it and he thought he was getting jipped again. Hahahaha! It's funny how that keeps happening to him. However, I pointed it out to him and he was grateful that he was not forgotten. (Of course, we love you, Frankie! Did you really doubt? ;)~)THEN...Noah attacked the presents under the tree!
He was thoroughly stoked to get more games in the house!
And, Gabriel loves Ripley's Believe It or Not books, so he was excited to add another to his collection. 
Kela got what she wanted: clothes, clothes, and more clothes. Plus, bags, bags, and bags...and even a drawing easel.
Wow! Our family has a lot more activities that we can do together...especially during Family Home Evening (Noah's favorite thing that we can never overlook...LOL). We're so competitive that games are always a hit. The downfall: it increases the smack talk...just what our family needs, don't ya think?!
Yes, I burnt the bacon...but if my mom had been here, she would have LOVED it! She doesn't eat it any other way. The crispier the better.

The boys decided to setup the Wii. We left that to them, since they are definitely more techno-savvy than us. LOL!
My crippled hubby couldn't be laying around on the floor anyway. Besides, it was only a few days after his surgery, so he vegged on the computer and let them go at it.
Noah checked out his nerf gun.

Frankie and Gabriel tried out the boxing. They went back and forth...can you tell by the faces who was winning in each shot? 
Dad and Kela reacted fiercely to the results. They thought their skills were hilarious, and ribbed the losers relentlessly!
Next, Brandon and Noah competed. First, bowling. Then, boxing. It was quite the matchup.

Oh!...and my hubby got me a very nice camera!!! Thus, the overload of photos!!!! LOL!
