Christmas morning 2008

Aunt Dawn and Uncle Willie sent us a box of goodies. One of the wonderful things about their presents is that you can tell they thought of us all year long. Their presents are made with love. Thank you for all of the beautiful personalized gifts, the coins for Matt and the gift card. We love you guys!

This year the kids asked Santa for a Wii. They were very surprised when they woke up to this letter from Santa:

Jayden, Devon and Makenna,

I have a special request this Christmas. Please open your gifts from me last (you don't have to wait to open your stocking gifts though). I spoke with someone very special to you and she wanted me to ask for this favor. Trust me, in the end it will be worth the wait!

Merry Christmas!!!

Love,

Santa

P.S. She also asked me to give you hugs, kisses and pats.

We found out the reason for this letter. Nana, Grampa, Uncle Josh, and Aunt Jeana bought the kids a Wii! They were so excited and agreed it was worth waiting. Thank you for getting the kids what all three of their hearts desired. You helped make their morning very special. We love you!!!

Jayden made us a coupon book at school. It includes shoveling snow and brushing snow off of BOTH cars. We can't wait to use them.

Makenna made us an ornament and an adorable card at school. We were impressed with her elf and Santa drawing.

Devon wrote a poem about our family. It's always nice to see what thoughts are going on inside of their minds.

Santa gifts...
