Christmas ~ 2013

Christmas morning *finally* came, and can I just say how excited we all were!  The kiddos even slept in a little bit, which was nice for Doug and I :).  

After much anticipation, we finally dove in and started unwrapping our goodies.  

Our elf, Elfie, decided to spend Christmas day with us, and he even let us love on him all day long.  Well, Kate was thrilled about this and pretty much took Elfie wherever she went.  She sure does love that little elf!

Noah had such a wonderful day and was so happy to get everything on his list :).  He got a Back to the Future lego set...

...a snow cone maker...

...AND a long board!  He was SO happy to have his very own longboard :).

Leah was overly excited about every little thing!  She requested some smelly markers (takes me back to my childhood!)...

...a Digital Makeover thingy, which is seriously the coolest little thing ever!  It looks like your putting on makeup, but your really not.  So cool, and non-messy!

...a jewelry box!

...and...

...and art kit!  She was beyond thrilled for this gift.  She is definitely by budding artist :).

Leah was also good at wearing everything she got and claimed the family game that we got as her own.    This gal LOVES to play games!

All Isaac wanted for Christmas was dress ups!  And he got what he wanted with a football uniform...

...and a Batman costume!  That was all Isaac really wanted, and he was so happy and wore it majority of the day.  He also got a Ninja costume and guitar, which he loves!

Kate had more fun watching everyone open their gifts than her own...go figure.  Although, she was happy with her new little flip phone.

And she took her precious little time opening every gift...this drove us all nutty ;).  

Santa brought her a new baby stroller, since our old one was broken.

And she also got a Build a Bear from Noah, which she loves...almost as much as Elfie ;).

Oh boy...these two were overjoyed all day long :).

They were even happy with their new toothbrushes :).

Christmas is such a magical time, especially when we get to spend it with these precious kiddos!!!!  They seem to make it all that much better!

And the kids had a blast playing with their goodies the remainder of the day!  So fun!

It was definitely a wonderful Christmas in the Smith household.  I think we're already looking forward to next year.
