Christmas Morning

Garin and I stayed up until 2am wrapping presents for the family, not an unusual thing for us. But as you will see it was all worth it and is every year. Be sure to view the video below for some more entertainment.

We woke up to a white Christmas. It was a nice surprise.

We found Santa downstairs this morning. May be the last year that Santa comes to our house when the kids are up since everyone thinks that Santa is actually Dad.
#1 on Kai's list this year was an Indiana Jones outfit. Thanks to Dad's creativeness we were able to find one. Hat from Bi-Mart, bomber coat from Macy's and the whip is actually a dog leash with the end cut off. But to Kai it was just what he wanted. Move over Harrison Ford, here comes the new Indiana Jones.
#1 on Cole's list was a new skateboard. I think he liked it.

#1 on Gemma's list was a big fat headband, which she got from Santa in her stocking. We thought she may like some other gifts as well. What every 8 year old girl should have, an Easy Bake Oven. She loves it. Thank you Jiji and Baba.

Kai giving Cole a big hug for the Club Penguin DS game Cole got him.

Thanks Uncle Steve for the Wall-E game. Just in case you "forgot" what you got him.

This was Garin after he opened his favorite gift, an electric shock bark collar for Mello.

Cole said it had only 9 grams of sugar. But he didn't read the fine print, 90 servings. YUM!

Gemma got the hang of Christmas real fast. Sporting her first Jonas Bro's cap.

So fun to dress your daughter when she will wear anything you put on her.

Can't you tell that they wanted to hug each other for this picture.
