Our Christmas Morning

Wowee!!!  Our kids must've been really good this year...  or maybe Santa just wasn't paying very close attention.  ;)  My oldest three were certain that they would be able to sneak in the living room in the middle of the night to catch a glimpse of Santa and they're goodies, so (being the "party pooper" parents that we are) we moved them into our room after they went to sleep.  Garrison promised he would be a good boy and wait in his crib until Mommy and Daddy were ready for him to see what Santa brought him.

Poor Hudson woke up Christmas morning with a 103 degree fever.  So, everyone had to wait in our bedroom until his Tylenol kicked in.  I figured the girls would be upset, but they were so understanding and just laid in bed with him watching cartoons.

The Goods

You can see Hudson sweating from the fever here.  Poor baby!  :(  But, he was still having a blast!

He LOVES his new recliner!  Perfect for watching his favorite Caillou reruns!

Me opening my gorgeous Old Gringo boots from the girls!  And I never cheat and brush my hair or put on makeup, as if you couldn't tell.  ;)

And Hudson bought me some new crockpot cookbooks!

I think Kenedy liked the Spy Laptop that Hadyn bought her!

Hudson was his usual self before too long and was enjoying the music on the girls' Teacup Piggies apartment!

He also got a new cowboy hat and hasn't taken it off since.

The living room was trashed!  In a good way.

After some biscuits and gravy (our Christmas breakfast tradition), we found a note from Santa that Hudson must've missed in his stocking.

I always asked Santa for a pony, and he finally delivered!  Clyde is adorable and the kids are in love with him already!  It's really been too cold to enjoy him much so far, but I know this spring, he'll be saddled up all the time!

Aside from Hudson ending up at the Urgent Care later that afternoon with a croup diagnosis (Yuck!), we had a wonderful day!  My favorite thing about Christmas this year was that I had one extra stocking hung on the mantle!  Six stockings and our sweet little family is complete! We couldn't be happier!!!
