Christmas Day 2016!

The kids woke up around 5am, did their stockings and then fell asleep till 7am. Then they came up and woke us up at 7:02am. They are such good listeners!! Love my kids! Christmas ended up on a Sunday this year. Which, I really love. We have 1pm church. So we had lots of time to do our Christmas morning.

We came downstairs and the opening of presents commenced! Of course, we had super excited kids and I absolutely love watching their faces!! So fun! I really enjoyed getting my presents from my kids. It was so cute. They were so happy to give them to me! So sweet. Same with their dad too. So enjoy a lot of pictures of us opening presents!

The kids and Richard got me a big comfy blanket for my bed! I love it!!

Cadence was so happy to finally get her own jewellery box!

DJ got a BIG nerf gun! I think he likes it!

Oh look what Santa brought Abbi, her own pellet gun! She loves it!!

Brianna got a teddy bear and a Lego set!

DJ had to run upstairs and find his BIG stuffed monkey! He loves that thing!

Cadence was so happy to get a troll doll!

DJ got a pellet gun too!

An art, spray gun! She loves it!

DJ got an Oiler's jersey!

I got it super cheap cause Hall, no longer is on the Oiler's, but we won't tell DJ that!

Santa brought the kids a basketball game for all of them!

Then I put in the breakfast casserole that I put together the day before. It baked for about 45minutes. Then we had a delicious breakfast of orange juice with our breakfast casserole, which had hashbrowns, eggs and bacon in it, plus cheese. It was delicious. A huge hit with everyone.

Then we had a relaxing morning of watching some new movies that we got for Christmas. Plus the kids were playing with their new toys. I love Christmas mornings with my family. Simply the best. It was such an enjoyable Christmas!

Abbi trying out her new gun out our back door! Ha ha!!

DJ shooting his. This gun is something that he can load himself, his other one was pretty tough.

Then it was time to get ready for church. All the girls were so excited to wear their new Christmas dresses. They all looked so beautiful. Then there was DJ, who always looks so handsome in his suit. I had to get some pictures before we went to church.

Abbi and Cadence all ready for church. Abbi was actually smiling here.

Our kids all ready for church. Abbi likes to glare at me when I have the camera.

Then away we went. Since it was Christmas Day, we just had Sacrament meeting. It was perfect. I absolutely love Christmas Sacrament Meeting. Best ever. The spirit was so strong and it was an amazing way to remember the true meaning of Christmas. The music was perfect.

We then, came home and changed and packed up our stuff to take to my parents place. We were having Christmas dinner there. We got there and watched one of our new movies with them. Then Steve and Stacey came and we all sat down and ate. Oh I should mention that my mom surprised Richard and I with a new quilt that she made for our bed. It was beautiful and I love it! It was a fun evening with family! Then it was ready to come home. We went outside and it was freezing outside. SO so so so cold! I think it had dropped to -30. Which is kind of crazy. We got home and we all went to bed!
