Christmas Morning 2009

Santa got to our house early in the morning and we woke Marcelus up and he was ready to hide, so we snuck out and hid under the table and watched Santa bring in some gifts. Marcelus didn't really understand that we were hiding because Santa wants us to stay in our beds and thinks we're sleeping. His first encounter with Santa was at the ward party where he could tell him all kinds of things and about what he wanted him to bring for Christmas. I was in my bedroom with Phoenix who had woken up just before Santa got there, but Shar said Marce almost tried to climb out from under the table to strike up a conversation with Santa! The boys had a great morning and I didn't get a lot of still shots (I take more video than still) but here they are and I hope to do better next year!

Marce trying the skates he asked for...he was a bit discouraged but we'll practice! I can see him loving to skate just like his mom!

Marce opening a gift from Aunt Connie....new little silverware for he and his brother!

Shar opened the personalized ornaments from Connie....he thought they were pretty neat!

The boys opening their new View Finder......I had one when I was a kid and loved it! They got Cinderella, Toy Story, Thomas, and Handy Manny slides for it!

The boys opening their new dishes........Spider Man and Hot Wheels! Little kid plastic dishes is something we collect in our house.

Marce opened Lego trains from Thomas & Friends, Salty, Spencer and Percy!

Marce is obsessed with trains and was very excited to get what he asked for, Thomas Trackmaster trains, Salty and Spencer!
