When I went upstairs to rouse the girls, this is how I found Delaney...she was "too many" tired still! But she eventually got up and was excited that Santa brought her the kitchen she was positive she was getting.
This year, Santa didn't think it was fair that the boys always get up early and snoop through the gifts before the girls finally roll out of bed...so he hid their gifts and sent them on a scavenger hunt. Delaney didn't have to look for hers (she can't read yet anyway) so she saw her Santa gift first. There is video of everyone below. You'll have to pause my awesome playlist music (on the right) if you want to hear them. They are hard to hear anyway because, being in the Christmas spirit, Cheryl shared her cough with just about all of us...so it can be hard to hear above the coughing. I hope they all load because I'm putting 4 videos on here.
Anyway, the boys scavenger hunt had them looking under the kitchen sink, inside the dryer, and finally they found their Santa gift in the coat closet. They were pretty excited with what they found there...
Santa told Payton to answer the darn phone that was ringing in her underwear drawer! Yes, Santa brought her a cell phone...can you believe it? She also got all of the CD's she wanted (Aly & AJ, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Radio Disney, etc), the Twilight & Jonas Brothers posters, lots of cute dangly earrings and some really cute shoes & clothes.
Cole got the Magic Tree House book he wanted, Battleship the game, lots & lots of Pokemon cards, and a sweet new sled.
Cade got tons of Bionicles stuff, pokemon cards, and a new lunchbox (since Batman was too babyish apparently)..
Corbin got tons of his figurines including Hulk, Iron Man, & Wolverine, and lots of great puzzles and a really cool Transformers book.
Laney got food for her kitchen, a Disney tea set, lots of dollies and Princess figurines, and dress-ups.
All of the kids had Wii games & movies in their stockings or under the tree. And no, they did not lack for anything this Christmas. They are very spoiled (read: loved) children!
Below is a slide show of the other pictures I took. I didn't take that many because I was too caught up in the present opening fun.
As is tradition, we had a brunch with buttermilk pancakes and all the fixins. It was fun having all of our immediate Jacobs family there! We are so glad that Casey & Cameron and their families made the trek up from Arizona to be with us!
We spent the rest of the day just playing with new toys and relaxing. Clint & I picked up Kristen's 4 youngest that evening and they had a sleep over with their cousins. Ian & Kelsey stopped by...I'll write about that in another post.
We really enjoyed our Christmas and hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas as well!
