Merry Christmas!

Christmas Morning and five kids waiting anxiously to see what treasures await them downstairs! But, if I remember right, it was Grandma and Grandpa who were up first, I think they were wondering if Santa would really find them in Chicago.

And down they go...
Carter is a huge fan of balls, so Santa brought him a little basketball hoop which Carter loves to play with!

Candy canes are a must!
Tyler seems to be our official "Writer of the Note to Santa". This year's note said, "Dear Santa, Please make sure each raindeer gets a peice of the carrits and the raindeer food neer the entrance of our front door. The cookies are for you and other people you want to give to. Love the Gordons and Grampa and Grama." Santa must have been hungry because the plate was nearly empty the next morning.
Grandma got a beautiful new scarf in her stocking...
and I got some very comfy new socks...
One of my favorite parts of looking back at these Christmas pictures is seeing the facial expressions. Like when Sydney opened her long-awaited Dora doll...
Spencer inspecting a great new telescope (been a little cold to use it much yet)...
Carter getting into the spirit of things....


If any one person in our family is good at being excited when opening presents it is Sydney. We always get reactions such as, "Ohh! A Pillow Pet! This is just what I wanted!"



Tyler is right up there with Sydney in excitement when opening gifts, especially when the gift is a signed BYU football...

Christmas is awesome! Nothing like time with family to laugh and play and take care of each other. Especially when you get family that comes from far away just to be with you and especially when that family is Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks Mom and Dad!
