Merry Christmas

He may bring the presents but we better not get too close! Lauren and Brooklyn would have nothing to do with Santa this year. Katie didn't want to sit on his lap but desperately wanted to tell him what she wanted, and get a bag of candy too. :)


Christmas morning started bright and early at 8:30. LOL We all had to set our alarm to make sure we got up in time to have presents opened and be ready for Tye to call. He is serving an LDS mission in Texas and only gets to call 2 times a year. We get to write and email each week but really look forward to these calls.
Lauren and Brooklyn were such a cute age for Christmas this year. They loved everything they opened as soon as they opened it, and then forgot about it after the next gift. Santa brought shopping carts, aprons and baby dolls.


Brooklyn found lots of ways to use her cart. :) She later would push it around the house and use it for a step stool to get things she wanted.

3 little girls that have been very nice (and a little bit naughty) but cute enough to make up for it.

Hiatt family tradition brings all of us together on Christmas night for the reading of Christ's birth and creating a nativity scene. We also had a family trivia game, singing and a little talent show followed by tons of food and basketball until midnight.

We were so grateful to spend the holidays in Oregon with family that live far away and we don't get to see very often, especially this time of year. We feel very blessed and are so grateful for the many wonderful blessings 2009 brought to our family.
