Christmas Day

James was duty on Christmas Eve so we drove him in in the morning and dropped him off. Check out what was on the jetty beside his ship.... looks like a shopping cart right? No BIG deal right???

Still don't see the BIG deal?? Check out Keenan in the bottom left corner...

Now, THIS is a shopping cart!! Thrify Foods was HMCS Ottawa's sponsor for the Navy Lighting Contest this year, talk about an advertisement!!! This is what we will need in a couple years when our kids start eating like TEENAGERS!!! LOL!!!!!

We thought that for a change Santa may like a beer after all that milk. The carrots are for the reindeer.

And here is what dear Santa Clause left behind......

Then we went home and the kids opened their Christmas Eve presents...always jammies!!

Even Chino got dressed up. HAHAHA!!!!

Ok, here they are. The highly anticipated Christmas Day photos. Because James was duty Christmas eve we had to drive in Christmas morning and pick him up so we improvised and the kiddos did their stockings in the van.


When we finally got home, which couldn't happen fast enough for the kids, we got to attack the pile!! WOOHOO

Here, Keenan and Daddy open the present that "Santa" got for the family. It was GREAT because even James didn't know what it was.

But once he figured out it was a Wii, he was ALL OVER THAT!!!!

Keenan got a TV for his room. It was EXACTLY what he was hopping for!!

Haylei got her Dora Kitchen. I'm not sure who plays with it more, her or Keenan!! LOL!!

Some silly person (me, hehehe) got Haylei a little make up kit. Not realising that it was REAL stuff in there. Oh, well. She had fun.

Then I got to open MY gift from James. Check out his professional wrapping job. Sure looks like the post office wrapped this one!! OH. WAIT. They did!! I had to pick this up on Christmas eve from the post office because it had finally just came in. When James said that my present had been delayed in the mail and that I may not have had a present to open I was a little sad. But then I went and pick this up and it KILLED me to have to wait to open it!!!!

But as you can see IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!!

Check out the camera, and lenses, and filters and tripods OH MY!! I TOTALLY SCORED!!! I got the Nikkon D40X!!!! Talk about a sweet camera. I LOVE IT!! Now I just gotta figure out how to use it!! LOL!!!

And of course the after math. Well, thats it for now. I will have a new post soon,. With pictures from my NEW camera!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
