What a wonderful Christmas!

So this Christmas was so much fun! The twins were really into it this year, even making Christmas lists and getting excited about seeing Santa. Christmas Eve started out at the Harrell family ranch. The Harrell's are a family that "adopted" us upon arrival and are big supporters of the military. They have become quite good friends. Anyway, we started there for brunch and stayed all day. They have deer that come right up to their fence and will let you feed them. The kids really enjoyed that. Later the girls all went for a hike (their ranch overlaps Palo Duro Canyon). The rest of the evening we spent at home wrapping presents and assembling the power wheels!

Christmas Day was also great. The first words out of the kids' mouths when they came out of their room was "Did Santa come??" Luci patiently waited for Eli to wake up and then the madness began. Luci ripped quickly through all of her presents while Eli looked at each present and carefully stacked them on the table. Pretty cute. Then they realized Santa left them a note on the tree and found out there was something in the garage. There were the power wheels!! Unfortunately they had to wait to ride until the next day because of the continuous snow! Oh, Bodhi and Bean also had a nice Christmas, toys and bones!

Today the kiddos got to fire up the power wheels and play in the snow. We got a few inches but with the wind it all got blown into some nice snow drifts.
