Christmas Morning 2009

I didn't get too many pictures of Christmas morning. If you can imagine toys for five kids and the fantastic packaging the toy companies use (you know what I mean....the way they parent, uh...I mean child proof everything), we need a few more than the four hands we have to get everything opened all at once! Luckily, Santa brings all his toys already put together and doesn't even wrap them!
Here is what Santa got everyone:
Caleb got a trumpet and a mute for the trumpet
Isaac got a bike
Bryce got a bike
Andrew got a scooter and helmet
Mady got a little house thing (see pic below) and a rocking horse
The boys got two electric scooters to share
Mom (and Dad, but mostly Mom) got a mute for the trumpet! Not just any mute though. Santa brought a mute that you put in the bell of the trumpet and it plays through an amplifier and through earplugs instead of outloud, So, he can hear himself, but the rest of the house doesn't have to try to yell over it. He can also use it to record to an MP3 player.



Mady's new favorite face to make at the camera!
