Sophie was the first one up Christmas morning. I tried to occupy her upstairs for a bit so she wouldn't wake anyone up or destroy the presents. About 7am they were all awake and running down the stairs. Even Maddie was running and smiling even after her sickness late into the night. The kids were so excited they didn't know what to do first. Sophie was running in place and squealing mostly because her siblings were so excited she thought she would join in!
Maddie loved passing out the presents to everyone. Some of her favorite gift included:
Wii, guitar, littlest pet shops, razor scooter, electronic puppy, new pj's, jewelry maker, twin cribs for her dollhouse, wooden play food, clothes, Tom and Jerry movie, and books.
Garen was extremely happy with his new things, after all he only wanted the one Yo Gabba Gabba to complete his train set. And all 5 Yo Gabba Gabba's were out waiting for him when he came down. Garen also loved getting: link'n logs, tractors, trucks, trailers, a stunt race car track, buzz lightyear, a new Cowboys hat, giant cardboard blocks, Star Wars characters, new clothes and pj's, the movie UP, and new puzzle and book.
Sophie was mainly having fun with the wrapping paper and picking up all the other toys that Maddie and Garen had unwrapped. But Sophie was very impatient trying to get her new cabbage patch doll out of the package. When I finally pulled her out Sophie gave her a giant hug and carried her all around. Sophie also like: her baby crackers, new sippie, soft tea party set, diapers, new clothes and pj's, and singing caterpillar.
The day was absolutely wonderful. We just spent the day relaxing and building villages, tuning the guitar, playing the Wii, making jewelry, doing puzzles, and playing with all the great new stuff! The kids helped me make rolls and a dessert.
Then at 6pm we went over to the Scott's house for dinner along with the Hales, the Hinds, and the Sorensons. We had a wonderful yummy dinner, the 15 kids ran around like crazy, and we played a very entertaining game. We got home about 9 and it was off to bed for the kids and time to clean up for Andy and I.
And now I am sitting in a very quiet house because Andy's parents came and picked up Maddie and Garen this morning and took them back to Logan for a couple days. And Sophie is having a nap. Hopefully I can get everything done that I want to while Maddie and Garen enjoy playing with Grandma and Grandpa!

Andy loved Maddie's pink guitar as well! :) (He's just tuning it for her.)
some of the kids eating Christmas dinner-
Sophie helping cook with my apron on-
pjs from her great grandma, I didn't even know they made footed pjs that big. I didn't thing Maddie would wear them since she's a silky nightgown type of girl but she thought they were great!-
