Christmas

Christmas was on a Sunday this year.  Ryan woke me up at 6:59am.  I jumped out of bed and got really excited.  Mom and Dad said to wake them up at 7:00am so we had to wait 1 minute.   Then we went downstairs and woke them up but Dad was downstairs making Christmas breakfast.  Dad told us to wait in Mom’s room and soon he brought up warm bowls of Christmas breakfast.  The Christmas breakfast was potatoes, sausage, cheese and eggs.  It was really yummy.  We ate it in Mom and Dad’s room and that’s really different because normally we see what Santa Claus brought us first.  We ate breakfast first because Matthew woke up really early and wouldn’t go back to bed so Dad decided to do it.

After we ate we sat on the stairs for a picture.

Then we went downstairs in a line from youngest to oldest.  Then we looked at what we got from Santa in excitement!  Mom got a stuffed animal monkey.  Ryan got a book.  Katie got a stuffed animal penguin.  I got a stuffed animal horse.  Megan got a stuffed animal elephant.  Luke and Matthew got geotrax CARS sets.  

I named my stuffed horse… Princess Buttercup.

In my stocking I got:

• A Kinder egg, and some other German chocolates
• A tea set for my dolls
• A notebook
• Bead necklace kit
• Candy cane full of chocolate kisses

We opened a few presents and then went to Church in the middle of the day because it was a Sunday.  The German ward and the American ward came together for only Sacrament Meeting.   Then after church Brother Thomas got baptized and a lot of people came. We didn’t stay for refreshments – we just went straight home.

When we got home we had more Christmas breakfast and then started opening presents again.  Here are some of the things I got and gave:

I gave Ryan and Dad BYU golf balls…

I got cooking supplies from Mom.  And coupons to have cooking lessons.  And I got a recipe book.  I really like cooking with Mom.

I was so excited to get the doll, Emily and the Emily book.  I’ve been wanting Emily for a long time.

I was also excited when Katie gave me Molly’s glasses.

Dad gave Megan and I princess pajamas that he picked out when he was on a trip…

  

In those presents was the American Girl school desk for our dolls…

The girls got a bunch of Horse Playmobil.  I LOVE horses and playmobil!

I gave Katie stickers of all the letters for scrapbooking.  I got them for a prize from school and saved them for Katie for Christmas.

This is all the stuff I got for Christmas:  (not the Molly doll just Molly’s cowboy outfit) 

Megan gave me a Calendar and I was thinking about giving that Calendar to my mom but it was gone when Dad and I went to get it.

 

Christmas was so fun.  I LOVE Christmas!!
