Christmas Day 2012

The first present of the morning was the kids sleeping in until after 8! 
He was into everything!  We had to clean up wrapping paper as soon as the present was opened and I put the tree gate back up as soon as we finished. 
Pure joy....and LOVE (the pic on the right is Kai thanking Hailey for her present!)
More presents....and the girls got our old iPhones that Leevi reconfigured into iPod touches with kid apps, etc. 
The girls' big present this year was an Xbox with the Kinect...it's pretty awesome!  The mom-vote that I tallied favored the Kinect way over the Wii because of the exercise (no remote like the Wii but a sensor that detects your body movement)  We have a sports game (soccer, volleyball, boxing, etc) an adventure game (white water rafting, etc) and a Disney dance (dance moves for many of the Disney movies and tv shows).  They also got a lot of crafts...make your own stuffed animal was a big hit as was make your own snow globe.  A few others were not as exciting as they looked! 
After presents, breakfast, and the unpackaging of presents (which took hours), we cleaned up for friends coming over for Christmas dinner...the Greens (we went from mostly all girl families as friends to all boy families) and a few single soliders from Leevi's and Charlie's work.
And some video snippets of Christmas day...we were in the middle of rearranging furniture and wall decor so I suppose I'll get to that post eventually!!!!  My Christmas present was FURNITURE...a new dining room table, entertainment center and a wine barrel from France!
