Christmas morning 2009

Christmas morning 2009 began late! Don was up by 7:00, made the coffee, and then waited for the rest of us to wake up. At 7:45, he went in and tried to wake up the girls. They were both snoring and would not wake up : ) Nick finally woke up around 8:00 and he and I meandered out to the living room right about the time the girls were making their way upstairs.

The kids were thrilled with what Santa left them! And the adults were pretty happy, too. What you can't see from these pictures is what I got from Don: a Canon Rebel XSi camera, and a vacuum cleaner! Oh, and a Slap Chop! : )

Haley came over about noon and opened her presents. Then she, Dylan, and I drove to the border to pick up Grandma and Grandpa! : )

We had a wonderful day. Hope you all did, too!
