Christmas Day ... Santa was HERE!!!!

On Christmas morning ... I was anticipating Paytons reaction to what Santa had brought here... She still doesn't completely understand it all ... but I was still hoping!!! When she came out of her room into the living room ... she looked at the tree and then saw that doll house that was in the living room. My parents gave her the doll house on Christmas Eve and Nick had just put it together for her to play with on Christmas morning. Well once she saw the doll house it was over ... thats all she wanted. She kept saying "thanks santa for my dollhouse" and I had to keep telling her that Santa didn't bring it ... grandma and grandpa gave it to her. After she played with it for a bit ... she decided to check out the tree and started to open some presents. She would open some, then play for a hour or so, then open some more. She finally finished opening presents about 5 pm.

SANTA CAME!!!!

Payton loves her new doll house that Grandma and Grandpa gave her!!!Opening Presents
Playing with presents
Trying out her new Trike ... hasn't really figured it out yet.

Anyway ... My parents came over in the afternoon for Christmas dinner and we sat around and played with Payton, ate and chatted. It was a wonderful day!!!! I have the most amazing family I could ask for and I am so grateful for everything god has given me!!!

Oh yeah ... Nick and I opened up our gifts to each other about Midnight on Christmas Eve. We figured that we would focus the whole day on Payton and we wanted to open our gifts together in private!!! Nick got a New Laptop, 3 xbox games, and some tools stuff. He got me a big sparkly 2 carat diamond ring (WOO HOO), a new camera lens, a new computer cord, and a flash diffuser for my camera!!! I love all of my presents (esp. my nice shiny ring)!!! Thanks babe!!!! I love you bunches!!!!
