Merry Christmas!

Ryker slept til about 7:30 and then was very anxiously waiting for Cam to get up.  We had to wake up Riella and finally heading downstairs a bit after 8:00.
Getting their first look at what Santa left!

Hockey gear! Woohoo!  They each asked Santa for roller skates, but had talked about hockey sticks too.  We got a great deal on a whole set with the goal and went for it.  They were beyond excited!

Riella loved her Playskool set.  She loves the little people.

Headlamps in their stockings were a huge hit.


He wanted to put them on right away.

The kids each get 3 gifts from us.  Ryker was pumped about his science kits.

And his new Kindle Fire.  Both of the boys got one and love them.  We like the educational aspect of it and the ability to control exactly what they do on their and for how long.  Good stuff!

We all got New Pal gear too.  Daddy was happy to have something to wear to games finally.

Ryker picked out these s'mores socks for Robert.  Robert is addicted to s'mores and I thought it was hilarious that this is what he picked out!

Beard tee for my bearded man.  :-)

Ryker's gift for me he made at school.  It's so cute!

One of my fave gifts from Robert was this set of paint swatches.  It was really just to tell me he would paint the kids' bathroom over break while he was off work.  Woohoo!

And a new watch! Yay!


And boots!  I was totally spoiled this year. :-)

After we finished opening, we had to get changed and head outside to try out the skates and hockey gear.

They are obsessed.  The mild weather was perfect for us this year, we played outside for a long time before heading in.

Then it was time to build Ryker's robot.

This was the first year I can remember since we've been married that we didn't have anywhere else to be on Christmas Day.  It was SO nice to stay home and let the kids play with all their new toys and sit in our pjs and sip coffee.  I made a big brunch and we enjoyed that and lots of quality time.  It was amazing!

My parents came by in the evening and the kids showed off their loot and they played like crazy.  We ate leftovers from last night and watched a movie together.
