Well here are the pictures from Christmas day! The kids slept in the same room and were asleep by 9pm. We however told them that they couldn't come out until 8am when Madison's alarm clock went off. I got up just before 7:30am to use the bathroom, and they were still asleep. But as soon as that alarm went off they came running into our room!!
Here is a picture of what Santa left for each of the kids! I do mean each, Brynley even got something!!
Christmas Eve after the kids were asleep and before we went to bed!
Madison's Santa gift! She is finally into playing with barbies, so this was right up her alley!
Zachary's Santa gift. It's the bat cave! I don't think I have ever seen him really use his imagination! He has not stopped playing with it!
And a little something for Brynley! Since she will be using a lot of Madison's stuff and Madison was born at the end of July when it was 100 degrees. We don't have warm fluffy blankets! This stocking was Travis's when he was little!
*****
I think we were done opening by about 9:30am, then we had breakfast. Then the real mayhem began! Opening all the toys! For one of Zachary's toys we had to use a screw driver just to get the thing out of the box!
*****
For the past several weeks Zachary has been pretending to be a hunter! He hides behind a couch and pretends to stalk people, aka animals! He got creative and was using a hanger for a bow and arrow. So when I found one at Wal-Mart I couldn't pass it up! I just love the look of surprise!
He was so thrilled!
Last year we started the sibling gift exchange! The weeks leading up to Christmas we ask a lot of questions to make sure they each pick out something that the other would really like!
Madison wanted the Tangled polly pocket! And since Zachary is completely obsessed with rescue vehicles Madison got him a box of 5 that he didn't have!!
*****
Now for the loot! Travis grew up with taking a picture of everything they got! So we have started that too!
Some of Madison's highlights......an Easy Bake Oven!! I had one when I was about the same age! Zhu Zhu pets (which Travis hates!:)) And a Taylor Swift singing barbie!
Some of Zachary's highlights, an Oregon Snuggie! Bumblebee car, and a Hot Wheels race track!
And Brynley made out like a bandit! Lot's of clothes and onesies! Socks, blankets, and a stuffed lion from Nana and Papa!
Okay this is the last set of pictures!
Travis definitely had a "Go Ducks" Christmas! Some of his favorites were a National Championship shirt, fleece pants and an Oregon shirt from my parents, and of course President Monson's new biography!
And my stuff! I got the perfume I wanted, new knives that are very sharp and with which I have already cut myself with! New slippers, a gift card to Kohl's for after Brynley is born. And a green and yellow party set from my mom so we can decorate for the big game!!! (You may have noticed Zachary's Oregon Snuggie in 3 of the pictures! Well it's adult size! So Travis and I use it too! Zach uses it on his bed like a blanket!!)
We had a wonderful Christmas and we were very blessed! Thanks to all our family! Have a great New Years weekend! And pray for a baby!

Brandon got a Batcave last year and still plays with it almost everyday! It is one of the best toys he has ever received. Looks like you guys had a fun Christmas. I will get pictures up eventually on our blog too.
