Hailey's fever broke about 5:30 Christmas morning so she was able to really enjoy seeing what Santa left. I usually dress the kids in pretty Christmas clothes since we are away from home and we wait upstairs until everyone has gathered before we come down. This year they came down in their matching pajamas and stayed in them all day! I always had on my new pajamas Christmas morning so even though they were under the weather and weren't wearing pretty clothes, it was nice to see them comfortable and real. Kelsey helped out by taking over my video camera while I took pictures with my little digital camera of them experiencing Christmas morning. Brady had his new flip video going. Can't wait to see the videos. Michael helped the kids explore too which is fun for me to see. Hunter absolutley loved his new choo-choo train but was a wee bit cranky at first. He needs fuel first thing in the morning and hadn't had a cup yet. After we got him situated, he perked up. He sat in Brady's lap while they looked through his stocking. I think he liked the chocolate the most. He ate most of his peanut m&m's and practically all of Hailey's chocolate kisses. He keeps finding her hiding places. Earlier today he took the stool out of the bathroom but I didn't follow him. I found it just a bit ago. He used it to go behind the bar and reach for Hailey's stash of remaining kisses. Sneaky!

Hailey was most excited about her new two-wheeler bike. She rode on it a bit in the house and took a ride outside later on in the day. Mia even magically appeared on her new plastic horse! Santa even left her the RED Christmas tree she asked for as well as a new pink fishing pole. 

After eating a yummy Christmas breakfast with Smokey's famous gravy, we relaxed inside and watched the kids play. The weather was beautiful and since Hailey had been couped up for days, she went outside with Brady and went fishing for awhile. She didn't want to come back in even though they had been gone for forever it seemed. 

Santa also left me a beautiful new watch which I really love and Brady got an xbox 360 which he loves too. Thanks SANTA'S! 

Love to all,

Camey
