Christmas Morning 2010

We had a fantastic Christmas morning. After spending two weeks in Idaho with family, we came home on the 23rd to be home for Christmas...& because Hartman had to work Christmas Eve. So it was so nice to be home for Christmas! We stayed in our pajamas all day & just enjoyed each other with out any interruptions from the outside world. It was awesome!!!! The kids were so excited and it was hard to keep them upstairs until we were ready for pictures. So this is them coming downstairs with so much anticipation for Santa!!!!


After looking at their stockings, they remembered to check to see if Santa and the reindeer ate their treats!
Looks like they did!
Luka loves exploring and here we round him tangled up under the table.
He also enjoyed climbing on the boxes more than opening them!

Here are just a few of the many pictures of the girls and their exciting expressions!
All Sofia wanted was a big huge white board to draw with her dry erase markers! Santa always listens!!!
Pillow Pets were also in huge demand around our house!
Isabella's big request was her very own digital camera! Can you tell she's excited?
We are a little behind on the times and just got a Wii this year for our family gift. We figured we'd wait until the kids started asking for one...so this year they really wanted one. They were very happy to get this from mom & dad!


The girls had fun picking out gifts for us and each other. Those are the most treasured gifts of them all! They were so sweet and thoughtful and very excited to share their gifts with each other!
Daddy is the designated videotographer
Santa left some fun things for mommy too!
Isabella with all her gifts!
Sofia with all her gifts!
All of Ava's gifts
The girls spent the rest of the day playing with all their new toys!


Ava asked Santa for a real Barbie House...However Grandma Anne & Papa Larry were already getting one for all 3 of them! So they were so excited to open this...especially Ava!

Ava was hugging the Barbie Dream House!

Special Gifts from Grandma & Grandpa Stosich
Seeing the joy in their faces makes Christmas so much fun for us as parents! We really had fun with them this year!
Mommy had a fun day also...Santa was good to me too!
Daddy and his new Tool Chest!
It's tradition to eat Breakfast Casserole after opening our gifts! I make it the night before and just pop it in the oven that morning. It's so yummy!
The girls got their very own make-up so they spent lots of time doing make overs on each other!

They also enjoyed coloring their giant coloring books from Santa
We even got a visit from the Hartners! It was a great Christmas morning!
