Christmas

 Christmas morning brought excited children and a beautiful white scene outside.  Luckily, no one woke up before 7:00 am!  I let them each open their stockings before breakfast.  Santa brought them some Disney dolls.  Tink got Tinkerbell and Pascal (from Tangled).  Bucko got Phineas and Ferb.  Minnie got Belle and the girl from Brave.  Goofy got Perry the Platypus and Francesco Bernolli.  Then I had them get dressed and we ate breakfast.  I made the carmel bubble rolls, creamed eggs with sausage, and hot chocolate.  Then we went back to opening presents. 

My favorite part was when they opened their gifts from each other.  They were all so sweet and gave each other hugs.  They really did a great job finding something their sibling would like.  Goofy got Bucko a Ninjago Character Encyclopedia.  Minnie got Goofy Lego Transformer Bumblebee.  Bucko made Tink a couple signs from the musical Wicked.  Tink got Minnie a Webkinz bunny. 
Of course, we continued our tradition of three gifts, just like the Wise Men.  Their gifts of love (gold), were:  Tink--a green reading chair for her room; Bucko--Batman and Transformer Legos;  Minnie--a butterfly Dreamlite; Goofy--Transformer and Captain America Legos.  The gifts of Learning (frankinSENSE) were:  Tink--pottery wheel, Bucko--rock collection and book, Minnie--a pink guitar, Goofy--magnet set.  For their gift of fun (myrrh) they got:  Tink--green polka dot sheets, a Keep Calm and Carry a Wand t-shirt, and a BYU t-shirt, Bucko--remote controlled helicopter, Minnie--a strawberry baby doll, Goofy--two remote controlled Cameros (one that is yellow like Bumblebee).  They also got Just Dance 4 and Just Dance Disney Party from Santa.  They got puzzles from Uncle Mike, who also gave PC and I a gift certificate for dinner at Chili's.  Can't wait to go on a date with that guy when he gets back! 
We went over to Nana and Papa's later, so we could see Uncle Mark when he skyped them from his mission.  It was a great day.
