Christmas Vacation- Santa Came (and Grandma and Grandpa)

This was the first year Kent really understood the concept of Santa Claus. It was really fun to talk him (Santa) up and see Kent's excitement. Kent and Addy came away with quite a stash this year, as did everyone else that was present. We are truly grateful to everyone for the gifts. It is nice to get a few of those "wants" that you don't spend your own money on. I finally got some new clothes that fit my post-pregnancy body (how long can I claim post-pregnancy?), Ammon got some Pixar DVDs he had been wanting, and together we got camping gear so we can fit in with everyone in Utah who camps throughout the summer.

Here is Cade and Kent posing for the camera before we let them walk down the hall.

Little did we know they would bear walk like crazy kids to see what Santa brought. Funny thing is Kent has not done the bear walk since then.

Shaking out his stocking...the kid loves candy, most of which was consumed prior to church.

New bike and helmet...the kid has such a large noggin we had to buy him one for 5-8 year olds.

Mr. Potato Head, if you ever want one and you see it at Costco, buy it then, if not you will be searching the area for one only to come up empty handed and have to buy it for an extra $18 on Amazon.

This is exactly what Addy did all morning.

For those who have taken a child development class, this is a prime example if parallel play.

Librarian Grandma gave lots of books.

Just for the record I was not to purchase this large house for Kent, you can thank Ammon's Grandpa and Ruth for that. Its large, we live in an apartment, Kent loves it!

The girls in their Christmas outfits.
