It was Christmas . . . we opened presents . . . the kids played with toys . . . it was great.

Presents from Santa.

Carter opening his present from Raine — trains to go with their new train set.

Raine opening her present from Carter — a new baby doll to go with the new doll high-chair, play pen, and play mat that Santa brought.

Grandma and Grandpa opening their stockings — ice cream certificates and lots of chocolate.

Carter with the ukulele that Gma and Gpa Dewey gave him.

Raine with the cash register that Gma and Gpa Dewey gave her.

Carpenter Carter at his workbench, wearing the new apron Gma Anderson made.

I didn’t get a photo of the nap-mat that Gma Anderson made Raine, but here is one from Gma’s blog.

What a fun Christmas! After opening a bunch of our presents, we had waffles — cooked on the new waffle iron we received — then we had a second round of present opening. Soon enough it was time to get ready for our 11:00 church services. The rest of the day we just played.

Here is a little video of Christmas morning — I want to keep this one easy to find so I can pull it out on Carter’s first date!!
