Christmas Day

Daddy's home! Waiting at the top of the stairs!

Clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Stubz

Piggy banks from Mom and Dad

Hats and scarves from Auntie Jody

BUZZ!

The snow started falling just past midnight. At 4 am I awoke to freezing rain/snow pounding on the house and panicked that Josh would not make it home. I could not sleep. Tristan woke at 530, followed by the girls at 6am. I kept them upstairs with me watching tv and cuddling, waiting to hear from Josh. He called to say the morning doc could not make it in and they wanted him to stay but he said no. The hospital lot and streets had been plowed so he headed out at 7am, waiting for some more daylight. He was able to drive east and then up 35 from the South and get home at 8am. The kids were super-excited and everyone rushed down the stairs to see the presents. Asher new right away that his was the trike and Tristan loved all his books. Delaney clapped and smiled and just wanted to unwrap presents. The girls liked their toys too.

Tristan: Wimpy Kid books, skateboard, LEGOs

Melina: camera plus scrapbook, Barbie computer, BOB reading books

Mara: dressable dolls, Pink and Purplicious books, Pet Shop figures

Asher: Trike, Toy Story boots, Toy Story book

Delaney: Baby art station, Ball toy, Book with animals

Surprise for everyone: NIKON D90 camera (That Target commercial flashed thru my mind of the woman opening the giant TV and telling her hubby Santa doesn't need help doing "his" job-- yep, I love the surprise, and I hope Santa was very thrifty.....:o)

We had Sausage Medley and Eggnog French toast for breakfast and then an early dinner of traditional Thanksgiving-type foods. Everything was yummy and fun! We are truly blessed!
