Brancyn in the middle of the loot

The kids impatiently waiting to open gifts

The stockings were filled.

The prized lightning McQueen tent!


December 25, 2008.
Well the kids were up at seven, except Brancyn. We had to wake him-no one could stand to wait another second (He usually gets up about then anyways, so don't feel too bad for him:) We heard the kids excited whispering and it was fun to lay in bed and just listen. We were surprised they actually didn't ask us to come open presents for about 15 min. They were so enthralled with the lightning McQueen tent that they weren't even worried about it at first. But eventually they were ready. I think everyone was happy with what they received. After we were done opening gifts, we did a quick check of the weather. It was not good and getting worse by the minute so we rushed to pack up and get to Grammy and Grampy's before it would be impossible. We had tons of new snow and called Grammy to make sure her road was ok. She said it was and kind of acted like she didn't know why we were worried. Visibility wasn't great all the way to Rigby and then about the time we hit Yellowstone highway it was like some flipped a switch it was just fine. No wonder grammy thought we were being a little over cautious! Well we made and enjoyed a quite Christmas. Grammy made a nice ham. We watched movies and enjoyed our treats from our stockings. We also got to play with cousins the next day to finish off the holiday.

I just now noticed your caption reads, "The Prized Lightning McQuenn Tent." Quin might get a big head over that. Ha!
