And he left us some presents for the kids.
And some gifts for the family.
And even a few for me and Aaron.
I love how excited this girl was.
She was all smiles.
I think Sarah was still trying to wake up.
It didn't take them long to rip into everything.
And then they moved on to open up the family gifts. We are all so excited about the basketball goal. Fun times ahead!
And then there was a knock at the door. Who could it be at 7am on Christmas morning? It was our friend Vicki who "just happened" to be driving by and found something on the door step for Sarah. I love the look on her face! She was so surprised she couldn't even say anything. It was priceless!
It was the dog that she had asked Santa for. He must have left her outside so the barking wouldn't wake us up. That Santa is so thoughtful. Thank goodness Vicki came by when she did though because little Bailey was getting cold.
Sarah was a little nervous to begin with, but she quickly warmed up to Bailey, and Bailey to her.
Vicki also found a letter from Santa with Bailey, so Katie read it to us. He told us that Bailey came from a home where she was loved, but the family just didn't have time to take care of her anymore. So he had brought her to Sarah knowing that she would take good care of sweet little Bailey. Sarah kept saying, "It's a miracle Mom! I knew Santa would bring me a dog this year!"
Then Sarah and Daddy took her out for a quick potty break. Sarah still looks like she's in shock in this picture.
And then John David finally woke up. He wasn't interested in the dog or the presents to begin with. He just wanted to sit with Daddy and wake up.
I love how he's watching the dog and looks like he's trying to figure out where the dog came from in this picture.
He finally decided he would open up his presents after a few minutes.
He immediately fell in love with his drill. Santa knew that he really likes his Dad's drill, and figured he would love one of his own. He fixed a lot of stuff with that drill this morning.
He was scared of his little quad when he first saw it, but he finally decided to give it a try and take it for a spin.
And he's off.
And when he came back he was all smiles.
He was lovin' it!
He also loved all of the cars that Santa brought, and had a great time playing with them too. But he did take a quick minute to eat a healthy breakfast of M&Ms.
This little girl pretty much just played with one thing all morning. Can you guess what it was?
Yep, she's seriously attached already. And who wouldn't be? Look at how cute little Bailey is?! She is so adorable, and so sweet too. And she's very mellow. Not an annoying barking or licking dog like some are.
Even the toughest critics--like me and Katie--are pretty smitten with her too, which is saying a lot.
Sarah did a great job taking Bailey out for potty breaks all day. She didn't have any accidents.
And John David did a great job of helping Bailey find her food and water bowls, even showing her at times just exactly how to eat and drink from them. What a great little helper, right?!
We really enjoyed hanging out all morning.
And we may have even snuck in a little Christmas Day nap.
Tonight we headed over to Vidor to visit Amy and her family. John David had a great time playing on Clayton's toys since he wasn't there.
The whole Cameron crew got bikes from Santa. So we talked about planning some family rides together.
And we all fell in love with Jarrett's new puppy too. Since she's asleep, you can't see her eyes. But trust me--they are a beautiful blue. She is adorable!
And when Shane had to make a quick trip to Walgreens, he picked up these Santa snuggies for Aaron, Kent, and himself, and we all had a good laugh over them.
Hey there Santa baby!
Then the girls wanted to try them out.
And then John David had to try it out too.
We've had a fabulous Christmas with our family, and hope you have too!
