Christmas Morning

Our Christmas morning was amazing.  We had so much fun together as a family.  We laughed, played, gave, received.  It was great!
We started by opening our stocking upstairs in the family room by the tree.  Santa brought us some fun things this year.  The favorites were remote controlled helicopters for the boys and Bendaroos for Kate.
After stockings we ate a yummy breakfast of cinnamon rolls, fruit and breakfast casserole.  Everyone enjoyed it, Gavin especially because it involved food.  After breakfast, Greg said, "Okay, let's go downstairs and open presents."  Enoch said, "Wait, there's more?  More presents?"  He was happy with his stocking and couldn't believe there was more.
Everyone was very happy with what they opened.  Gavin got a Nook.  He was so thrilled.  He also recieved his traditional BYU sweatshirt and a few other things.
Enoch received some Zibits, a remote controlled Star Wars pod racer, a BYU jacket and a few other things.
Kate was beyond ecstatic with her pink camera and case (can you tell?)  She has been taken pictures non-stop.  She also got a dress, game and a few other things.
As a family we decided the kids would give homemade gifts to each other.  They had so much fun coming up with ideas and making them with Mom and Dad.  Kate gave Gavin a wallet made from a keyboard circuit board.  Enoch gave Kate some matching games that he cut out the lamination.  Gavin gave Enoch a cockpit control panel.  Enoch loves it.  He was so excited when he opened it.  He immediately sat down at started yelling out phrases like, "warp speed, full throttle and engines down!"  This is a picture of Enoch and Greg in the escape pod.
Our Christmas morning was wonderful.  We skyped with Grandma and Grandpa Randall (who are serving a mission in Sierra Leone) and it was so fun to see and talk to them. We were able to attend church at 1pm and listen to the choir's program.  The kids opened new church clothes in their stocking and they looked great.
After church we visited with Grandma and Grandpa Fowler and open more presents.
It was a perfect Christmas.
