Merry Christmas 2013!

We were the mean parents that wouldn't let our kids get up until 7:30 this morning. We still had to wake Wesley up, so we figured it was a good compromise.
The kids started out by opening up their stockings. Wesley was so very excited about his new toothbrushes. Really.
After breaking in to those we had a family prayer and everyone told us the gift that they planned to give to Christ in 2014. (We do this instead of new year's resolutions.)
Wesley- Be a good big brother
Brady- Help out with the new baby and do a better job listening to and obeying mom and dad
Sadie- More sincere prayers and better scripture study
Bethanie- Be more positive
Mom- Enjoy more "moments"
Dad- Read the book "Jesus the Christ" again.
Family- Continue with more scripture study as a family

Then it was time to open presents!! Wesley was very nervous about ripping in to the paper. It seemed like something he shouldn't be doing, I guess. By the end he was a little more excited to try on his own.
We were so very blessed and the kids are all extremely happy with their loot. Lots of clothes and toys.
The kids did do something this year that made Sean and I drop our jaws a bit. Half way through they decided they wanted to take a break to eat cinnamon rolls and look at what they had already opened. Really? Great! We finished up opening presents around 9:30 am, due to the thirty minute break. What a fun and relaxing morning!
