Christmas Morning 2009

You would think with our kids being older that we would not get up early on Christmas day.  No such luck, Karrie woke up at 3 , then at 4 and then finally at 5 we all got up.  It is so funny how excited they still are about Christmas.   Karrie got a mini-laptop and Colby got a x-box 360 elite.  Cade got a new pair of chaps.  I still love this time of year even though the children are getting older and some are not at home with us.  After we opened our presents, we let Vincent go back to bed since he had worked the night before and would be going in later.  Cade had to go to work at 5 and would come home later in the day.  Casey called us at 9 and we went to his house to let the children open their presents from us.  They were so excited about what Santa had brought them.  Justin had received a workbench and Leah a kitchen.  They also got a riding John Deer tractor that they both loved.  I love buying for the grandkids and always overdue it, but Vincent never gets mad when it is for the grandchildren.
Colby doing an early morning stretch I guess.

Karrie going through some of the things Santa brought her.

Oh yes, the laptop, she was so excited to get.

Colby's smirky smile when he saw his x-box 360.

Casey's new house, this is their family room.  Luckly it is big for all the things that they received for Christmas this year.

Leah showing grandpa Vincent her laptop that she got from Santa.

Leah's kitchen and Megan and Caleb.

Colby and Justin playing with Justin's farm set.

Ralphie, the chocolate lab that Kylee gave them and Princess the cat that Kelly gave them having a moment of fun.  Cade had Caleb's name this year and bought them a golden retriver for $200.  They will get it in Feb.  Oh what fun they will have with all of their animals.

The big green tractor.

Justin's workbench, he will have so much fun with.  He loves to fix things all the time.

What a great Christmas this has been!!!!!  The year was busy with a wedding and this being Colby's senior year.  We also got a new grandbaby this year.  What a great life Vincent and I have.  I couldn't ask for anything better!!!!!!!!!!
