Dave and I woke up on Christmas morning about 7:30, I got all ready for the day because our church was at 11:00 which meant we had just enough time for stockings, breakfast, and presents. Marcus woke up right on time at 8:00. We decided to have breakfast first, we had Santa pancakes, so fun and really easy!!
After Breakfast we ran down the stairs to open our stockings. Marcus was so excited to see the presents, not because of what was in them but because he wanted to just rip the paper off. Here is our best pictures of us on the stairs :)
Marcus was so excited to see what was in his stocking. He got a fun reese's reindeer that plays the funniest song, he loves to dance to it. He also got some sippy cups, a few little cars and a M & M light saber that he is constantly playing with and making light up!
Dave got the Randall traditional stocking, a box of sugared cereal, pringles, and some candy
Dave got me some candy (sixlets and reese's), tights, socks, and a groupon for a 90 minute massage! (I've never had a massage before)
We then started opening presents, Marcus loved his big present! Dave and I made him a bean bag (yes ladies my husband likes to sew!). We found a pattern online and picked out some cute fabric. Marcus loves to jump on toby's bed and roll around on it so we thought a bean bag would be perfect for him. He immediately wanted to jump on it.
Marcus also got a play tent and tunnel. He already had a tunnel but the tent was so he could play inside and outside with mommy and daddy and toby. Even toby loves the tent and tunnel!
Marcus also got a new bath toy that is too advanced for him but he will grow in to. I made him a few things: some alphabet letters out of felt so he can learn his letters, a sensory touch book, and a bean bag hunt and find toy.
Dave got a Spongebob Potato Head (he gets one every year to add to his collection, you can see them on the wall behind him), a weather clock (which is so cool, I don't know why we didn't get one before), a 101.9 Chunga's back T-shirt (see below for the story) and the complete collection of Fraggle Rock on DVD.
Then we went to Dave's sisters house in Kaysville and had the Kelly Family Christmas. As tradition we did the silly string, but we got smart and did it outside. Marcus was shot first thing and started crying so we had to watch from inside.
Then we opened presents and stocking. Marcus was spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa Kelly. He got some fun Melissa and Doug toys and from his cousin Claire he got a Little People airplane.
Marcus loved to give everyone hugs, but specifically his cousin Caleb because he was his size.
We gave Grandma Kelly the annual grandkid picture, as you can see she loved it!
After presents we ate yummy food and played some really fun games. We played our new game Snorta and had a blast with family! This was by far the best Christmas Dave and I have ever had. Having Marcus makes every holiday that much better. We have so much to be thankful for and we enjoyed the blessing of giving gifts and remembering our Savior on Christmas Day!

| Dave loves listening to 101.9, specifically Chunga. A while ago they cut Chunga's morning show and Dave went in to a deep depression, no kidding. Well last summer Chunga came back on and Dave was so excited! They printed these t-shirts that say "Chunga's back" and were giving them out but we could never get our hands on one. So I e-mailed the radio station to ask if they had any left and the station was so nice and gave me the last one they had. So I went down to the radio station and picked it up in November. Am I a good wife or what? |
I got a complete Glitter Toes set, some garments (I know lame but I really needed them), and some new knives for our kitchen!
As a family we also got a few DVD's: Harry Potter, the last one, Night at the Museum, a syrup pourer :), a dutch oven bag for our dutch oven, and the game Snorta.
We then got dressed and went to church. I was in charge of leading the primary kids in two songs for our Christmas sacrament meeting. We sang "Away in a Manger" and "Christmas Bells". The kids did so well with the bells, it was the perfect sacrament meeting on Christmas.
