Look What Santa Brought!

Christmas morning was full of excitment for the kids. Their little eyes were full of wonder as they looked at every gift and peered in their stockings. The first thing Emma and Ammon got to do was Skype with Matthew's parents and open their presents from them. They opened the presents from my parents the night before. They recieved so many wonderful gifts! Emma got books, a princess dress, 5 sets of Tinkerbell jammies, a tea set, snow boots, a Tinkerbell night light and several other things. Ammon also got books, truck footie pjs, Batman jammies, Mater jammies, hunting boots, Timberland boots, a Tonka truck set and other goodies. Thanks to all the grandparents for all of their wonderful gifts!
After Skyping it was time to see what Santa had brought. For Emma their was a basket full of stuffed puppies, a purse, new Tinkerbell DVD a baby doll, a beanie baby doll, a Clifford book, a dress, and heaven knows what else. I can't even remember what all we gave them! Ammon got more cars, a light up telephone, tons of new pants and shirts, a stuffed duck, a stuffed puppy and some baby books. They also recieved a joint gift from Santa Claus. It was a huge set of baby legos. They must have spent hours building things with it. It was such a cute sight.
Matthew's gifts for me this year were of course amazing as usual. He gave me Beauty and the Beast. I was so happy! It is my favorite movie. He also gave me 2 new video games, celebrating the fact that I am now a complete gamer. It's sad when the Gamestop employees recognize you. He also bought me a beautiful Fossil watch that I had seen in a jewelry store. And to top it all of he gave me.... a puppy! Since we believed that he was going to Korea and I would be moving in with his parents we had to find new homes for our 3 dogs. It broke my heart to have to give away my great dane. He was my giant baby. I missed him so much. So for Christmas Matthew bought me a puppy. Some members in a different ward are breeders of black and tan coonhounds. So I now have a new baby girl named Mocha. I am in love with her and am currently training her to hunt so I can take her out next year. I am training her for predator hunting as well as pheasant. I can't wait! Matthew did an amazing job with my presents this year!
For him I got him a video game, some hunting pants, a hunting shirt, a shot gun cleaning kit and a watch that he had been dying to get. In fact we bought it at the same jewelry store as my watch. It is solar powered and radio signaled and a million other different things. He really likes it and I can't get him to take it off!
It was such a good Christmas. I am so lucking to have a handsome husband and 2 beautiful children to spend it with.
