Christmas Day

Christmas was good at the Carson home. We had told the boys that we wouldn't get up before 6 a.m., so you can imagine what happened at 6. First, D came in early, to no avail. Then, a couple minutes later, O came pouncing into the room with a look of excitement only a 3-year-old can display, yelling at full voice, "It's Christmas! Santa came! Get up!" What parent can resist that?? So, off we went to enjoy the Christmas morning revelries! See for yourself...

A white Christmas!!! I don't remember very many of these growing up around here...

"I told you Santa would bring me a Zune!!"

Digging into the stockings...

Peekaboo through the GeoTrax track that Santa set up...

Mayhem...

Santa always brings a Life Saver book for the stockings.

Every time O opened something, he said ecstatically, "Just what I wanted!!"

D got something he didn't ask for, but he loved it. A remote control helicopter. It turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the day.

O played with his new GeoTrax from Mommy most of the day. He liked the track Santa put together for him...

Comin' through!!

Lots of new games this year! We had fun playing them during our 5 "man days" while K went to visit her family in Utah.

The aftermath...

Will the snow ever stop???
