Adams' Christmas In Pictures...

I heard the kids wake up and ran out into the living room before them so I could get this picture...

Samuel slept a little longer than the other kids, but they were so excited for him to wake up and get into his stocking because of what they saw sticking out of it....

He did finally wake up a little later and the kids had to put the batman mask on him right away! It wasn't really meant for Samuel, but Joshua somehow ended up with one too many things in his stocking so it got put into Samuel's but they will all end up playing with it anyway!

I didn't think Mommy and Daddy were doing stockings this year, but Santa left me one anyway...in an army boot liner since I didn't have a stocking to fill! :) It was very sweet and full of fun! 'Santa' was very creative!

The kids got little scooters that are so much fun on our hardwood floors! They spent some time scooting all over. Eventually these will probably become outside toys, but for now, while it's freezing outside, they'll offer some active fun indoors!

It's reactions like these that make Christmas so fun...

It took Samuel a couple of presents to figure out what was going on...

But he soon got the hang of it and enjoyed tearing all the paper to get to what was inside...

We have a Jedi in our house now...

Joy loved her special doll clothes that her Great Grandma made for her!

All the kids got such fun things from all their Grandparents...Thank you SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! We miss you all so much and you helped make this first Christmas so far away from 'home' so special!

Samuel taste tested everything for us...

After a nice morning opening presents together, we went to the Gowan's house for a lovely Christmas dinner with lots of friends...

It was nice not to be the one cooking everything today, I only brought rolls and potatoes! :) Thank you Carrie for a wonderful meal and fun time!

The kids had fun playing with their friends and each other's new toys!

Then just before we were leaving, it started snowing! So we got a white Christmas after all!

We had a wonderful day celebrating together and with friends and I hope all of you did too!
