christmas day

all i can say is thank goodness for toddler clocks. we were woken up at 7:30 by sawyer crawling in bed and then mason ran in a few minutes later yelling that santa ate all the cookies.

we played with santa toys until church time.

after church we went to kim and chrys' house and ate lunch, then started opening presents after lunch.

the kids passed them all out. we tried taking turns opening presents so that they wouldn't just tear through all of them. they of coarse had a ridiculous number of presents since we do it all together and they get all of their presents from both grandparents at the same time. not to mention they are spoiled rotten only grandchildren :)

it was a great day and so much fun. the only bad thing was at lunch i started having contractions and had them all day long. we finally went up to labor and delivery that night just to have things checked out. they said i probably just needed more fluids or it could also be because she is so active. thank goodness. i started having contractions with the twins around 26 weeks and was put on bedrest so i was pretty worried about a repeat.

christmas eve

we had christmas eve with extended family and the kids got to open one present. they play with it all night. sawyer got these princess hair things and fixed everyones hair all night. mason got some super heros- thor,loki etc. they were so excited about santa coming that they could not fall asleep. I think it was 10 before they finally crashed.

Merry Christmas!
