Christmas Day 2008

Our Christmas morning started at 7:00. Bravo to the Roberts kids!



As soon as they come down, they can open the presents Santa left in their stocking. The stockings are almost as tall as them. Thanks to Grandma Pat for making Logans stocking to match the others. How did Santa know that Logan might need diapers?


There were plenty of presents to go around: Video cameras, moon chairs, electric hedgers, drums, running shoes, pedicures, board games, video games, and toys. However, the kids did the best job with gift giving this year. All 3 independently came up with their own gifts for us. Jordan took her own money and put it in an envelope for her Dad to order scriptures for his blackberry, she wrote a letter to me and made a card. Larson spent many hours one day painting pictures and wrapping them under the tree. He probably had close to 20 under there. Jackson's gifts were so Jackson: He said " I just made mine on the side of the house, I dont have money to buy gifts" Do you know what is on the side of the house? His mud area. He loves to play in the mud. (his fingernails are almost always a nightmare) He seriously made me a heart with 2 holes and a string going through it for a necklace. There is a small picture of it. He asked me if I loved it? Yes, Jackson I love it. I will just remember not to wear it on a rainy day.




We got a Wii!



Thanks Aunt Char and Mr. Bell






Did we really need another Elmo in the house? Probably not but it made Logan smile everytime that he saw it in the stores. This one is mechanical and moves every body part on its own. He dances, tell jokes, stories, plays game with you. He has a chair that he sits down in and stands up. Oh well, this Elmo live can keep the regular Elmo and the Tickle me Elmo and the dance with me Elmo friends.




The wait is over: Jordan finally got a cell phone. We hid it in the tree and after all the presents were opened we called her cell phone. Needless to say she was happy and was proud to announce she had sent 88 text messages by the end of the day. Yes, we have an unlimited text plan!



Christmas was a very fun day as they always are. We wish that we could have all of our family with us but as Colby always said, we would have to have a very big house. We are so blessed and look forward to this next week of just spending time with each other and playing with all the new presents!

How exciting. I think that the pictures of them opening the wii games were so cute. And all of them shocked and excited.

Jordan is so grown up with her cell phone and 88 texts! What a fun thing for her and her friends. Who doesn't need another Elmo in the house, I think that you are well on your way to be able to have one in each room.
