Ok, okayyyy. I confess. I got my kids up at 11:48pm and begged them to shake their sleepies so we could open gifts :) I just couldn’t wait any longer!! haha They had a BLAST opening all their presents… I don’t even remember what all each of them got, but here are the endless photos I snapped with my Samsung DualView while they ripped the paper I so carefully wrapped to shreds LOL
The neverending WalMart receipt from my Christmas-dinner-ingredients trip
The kids pilfering through the gifts Christmas Eve
All the presents, safely under the tree LOL {not for long!}
Yes, our tree was sad… poor, poor, pitiful tree…
Since we no longer have a fireplace, their stockings were hung on my credenza with care!
Zoe’s first REAL Christmas… she wasn’t sure what to think of it all!
Talia had been asking for Gator Golf for 2 weeks… she was SOOO excited to get it!
Tre’s bike has been out of commission for quite some time,
so getting a scooter was bliss!
Avalyn is allllll about Barbie these days!
WalMart was all out of the affordable MP3 players.
Lucky for Briyana!!! She got a cell phone instead!
Talia is opening the gifts MiMi and Pappaw Chris sent!
Avalyn… with the closest thing we could get to a biracial Barbie!
Zoe was in awe… never has she seen so many toys!
Tre and Daddy are busy with the gun… boys.
Uh oh. She has a phone… with a camera. She’s never going to put it down. LOL
Dangerous and sexy. Ouch. :)
Ava ran over to say, “MERRY CHRISTMAS, DADDY!” with a huge hug :)
Ava got an apron that matches Barbie’s! Suh-weeeeet!
Lights.and.Sounds.and.Colors.oh.MY!
Tear that paper off of that present, baby girl!
Night vision goggles and a gun. Be very afraid. lol
I think Dad’s getting tired. LOL Lame. He can’t hang with the big dogs lol
Ohhhhh, mama! MiMi sent me jewelry.
{Oh, darn. And all I got you was a cell phone.}
Little does Tre know, he’s so not getting this scooter back.
What the heck are these, mom??
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Dear Kat,
Happy holidays. I can see you guys had a great one!!! Great pics. Glad you got some awesome gifts!
Raquel :)
Thanks, sweets!!
great pictures so fun we had several barbie christmas
Yep – Ava is BIG on Barbie these days haha She loved her Cake Bake set :) Thanks!
Everyone looks like they had a FABULOUS time, your camera works fantastically too, might I add (I want one!)
Love that you found a bi-racial barbie (we need those in our house too, but there’s no half polynesian, half german dolls anywhere on the planet!) The pic of Dad & Tre was so much like what would happen in ur house I yelled for my husband to come see (I figured he’d point out ‘See?? It IS a guy thing, not just a ‘me’ thing’ and was not disappointed) All up, I’d say the kids look super happy – & you’ll never see you’re daughter again with a cellphone AND camera :P
Yessss girl this camera is awesome :) I love it…
LOL I can imagine it would be hard to find a biracial doll THAT specific. lol I’m sure this one is not really biracial – she’s just tan LOL Soooo we called her biracial. Hopefully Mattel won’t get too upset hehe
The guns = DEFINITELY a boy thing LOL You’re hubby’s right haha
Cell phone + camera = You’re right … we’ve barely spoken since Christmas LOL!!
Wow! it looks like you all had a blast.
I cannot believe you woke your kids up at midnight. That is soooooo funny!!!!!
.-= Susan (5 Minutes for Mom)´s last blog ..Around The Blogosphere – Week 116 =-.
Yeah my husband was soooo tired – he was like, “Are you SERIOUS?!” Um, YES! lol I even had the kids get clothes on haha They weren’t upset though :) You don’t even want to know what time they went back to bed. It was like nearly 4am. Oops :) *bad mommy*
Wow!!! It looks like everyone was having a blast!!! :)
They were :) This is the first year we haven’t gotten them any clothes… they got allllll toys and they were ecstatic! :) Thanks for visiting!!
Hey!!!!
Remember me??
Gorgeous photos! They are so beautiful, the photos and the kids. I hope you and the family had a wonderful holiday. I have been just so busy, but I am thinking about cha!! Love you!
.-= Laura´s last blog ..Christmas 2009 =-.
