We celebrated our Christmas morning on December 23 since we were leaving for our surprise trip to Canada on December 24 and we didn't want to transport all our presents.  (Note to self:  next trip to Canada, save the gifts for the real Christmas morning.)

We had our traditional Christmas breakfast, put some nice music on and opened gifts.  The kids had a blast.

Favorite gifts…

Emma - Hug-n-Sniff CareBear, Baby bottles (that go with the doll she got)

Tessa - Hug-n-Sniff CareBear, Bella Dancerella High School Musical

Staci - New cell phone

Rogene - Watch with 2GB USB drive

Thank you Auntie Shanell for sending me the Olivia book.  Emma says thank you for the "Bear Stays Up for Christmas" book.  (They are two of Mommy's new favorite Christmas books to read.)

Thank you Auntie Stacie for the Strawberry Shortcake DVD!  We've watched it several times already.
