Christmas Day Part 1

We had a wonderful Christmas. The day was filled with magic and wonder and SNOW! The kids loved it! The only white Christmas we have ever experienced is in NY, so snow in Georgia was a treat! We played in the snow and made snow cream! Such a fun day! Santa got the kids a HUGE gift this year which they have enjoyed playing on when the weather hasn't been too chilly.
Stockings outside their rooms waiting for them.
Opening stockings
Santa gifts inside! Carter was so excited to get a Pillow Pet! He would recite the commercial to me every time he saw them in the stores!
Campbell spots the swing set!
Fort Van Orden! Carter said that he head Santa with his hammer and nails at night putting it together. Little does Carter know, Santa's elves installed in on the 23rd and we had to keep the kids from seeing it! I stacked presents in the windows so the kids couldn't see out and we kept Carter out of the house both days. Thankfully all the hard work paid off! Carter's exact words were, "What . . . in . . . the . . . world!" Campbell said, "A swing set for me? Yayyyyyy!" We let them go out and play on it in their pjs and coats before the snow really started to come down. It was sleeting but the kids had fun! I can see many memories being made in the back yard. I just hope it's memories and not broken bones :o)
Pure joy!
