Yes, 6 am is WAY TOO EARLY! We gave the kids a choice of getting up before Jeff had to go to work to do their Santa gift, or sleep in and wait until he got home... they both chose getting up. Of course, that meant I had to get up too!
Stocking Stuffers

Oh, Santa listened well and brought Cassidy her Hannah Montana CD player.

Brandon also got his big wish. Geinus Marble Mania set. We later find out that this is a very very very involved gift!
Doing a little early morning scratch art.
6:30 AM. Brandon says, "Mom, can you help me put together my marble maze?" I said "Sure!" Over 500 pieces and 67 steps to finish it... are you kidding me!?!
All dressed up and ready to head to Grammy and Papa's house.




A bathrobe! She was very excited.

No idea what she is doing.. I am pretty sure I said smile.
The book Brandon has been waiting and waiting for! The Periodic Table. He has already read it cover to cover!
Thank you Aunt Brooke and Dave!
Finally, we headed back home and Grandma and Grandpa came over to do some more gifts.

More Galactic Heroes! These are the only "toys" that Brandon will actually play with. He has hundreds of them!
Such a ham!
Legos! Another fun thing to build.
Clothes... gotta love those clothes!
Cutie!

Brandon's big surprise. He had absolutely no idea he was getting one for Christmas. We saved it for very last, knowing that once it was opened... nothing else would matter. (We were right)


Cassidy's big surprise. She has been using Jeff's old DS to play with. We bought her a pink one and put Hannah Montana Skins all over it. She was shocked and very very very happy!




All ready to go in and watch a new movie before bed.
9:45 PM. Jeff finished building the marble mania tower for Brandon. So glad he loved it! We are never taking it apart, or rebuilding it!!!
