Here's a picture of the kids waiting to be allowed into the great room where they can see all of their presents. This is when they raid their stockings, which are hung on the railing.
3 kids got new beds for Christmas. They needed them anyway, and we thought we'd go for the dramatic emphasis of a HUGE present wrapped in a big red bow for Joel, Noah and Savanna. They were very, very happy to have their big beds. 
When Savanna unwrapped this High School Musical microphone, she couldn't believe her eyes. She ran over and got some batteries for me out of the cupboard. As I was inserting the new batteries, she was watching dreamily, and she said, "Mom, this is what every little girl wants."
Abram kept telling us he didn't know what he wanted for Christmas. He was sure that there was no way on earth we would buy him an ipod, so we went along with that. Boy, oh, boy was he surprised when he opened his nano on Christmas morning. It's always fun when you can surprise a teenage boy with something he loves for Christmas. 
Aubrey thought Mark was joking when she read the tag that said, "Aubrey: this is your big present. Love Mom and Dad." She found an i-pod inside, and was very surprised, too.
Optimus Noah. He got this cool voice-changing helmet, and it was a hit. 
We gave Joel the Brio Labyrinth, and it is a wonderful toy. Joel holds the record for getting farthest through the maze, and I hold the record for being the least coordinated.
Zachary was just happy to be here on Christmas. He got a few presents, but he was more interested in being held than opening presents.
Jake got a lefty compound bow. The archery lessons began Christmas afternoon.
We had a really fun day together. We didn't go anywhere. Actually when we came home from church last Sunday, we didn't leave the house again until Thursday morning when Mark went to work again. We are pretty laid back around here.
