Christmas Day 2006

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

Bryce and Carter are enjoying our festive living room as we prepare to open presents on Christmas morning. It was about 9 o'clock by the time we got up, ate breakfast and were ready to open presents. (Carter was up at 4:30, but we decided to train him to be a Christmas morning sleeper!)

Carter takes a peek into his stocking.

Look what Santa brought Bryce: a set of erasers!

New pj's! They are cute and soft and pink! Bryce got me a cute pair of pink, fuzzy slippers that match perfectly. I'll be one stylish mama!

Bryce's present from Carter- a new wallet. (really, it was about time!)

Carter got a fun new book about colors from great-grandma Madsen. He'll be reading in no time!

Cute new Christmas clothes from Gramma Tanner. Look at the ADORABLE sweater! I can't wait to put it on him- it's even the right size for our little tiny boy.

Bryce, our lover of all things WWII related, received this book about Hugh Nibley's experience in the 101st airborne division. I was extremely excited when I discovered this book a couple of months ago- I could hardly stand waiting to give it to him.

Web Cam! I love it, Bryce loves it, and obviously Carter is very excited! Thank you!!!
Hooray! Thanks Nana and Papa! We love our webcam- we've already tried it out. In fact, we've tried it and decided that we need a LOT more practice before we're ready for the big screen!
My last gift from Bryce was a downloaded CD of the Hawaiian singer Brother Iz (Trena probably knows who he is). Bryce searched high and low for a CD but had no luck. Fortunately he was able to find some songs online. We've been enjoying a Hawaiian morning- it's great!
