Christmas Day

It was Christmas morning and as always I couldn't sleep so I (as usual) was the first one up. Because I got up at 3:00am. What can I say I'm an early riser   Unfortunatly when you get up that early there is no one else up (I'm not sure why) to keep you company, so you get board. I got dressed and did my hair so that I would be presentable in the Christmas pictures. I wrote in my journal, looked for my stocking ("Santa" hides them every year) with no sucksess, and took a couple pictures of the presents under the tree. Here they are:











Then Reed woke up at 4:57am. We set off into the house in search of our Christmas stockings.



By the time everyone was up Reed and I had found all the stockings, except mine (it's always like that). Dad gave us some hints to were they were using the answer sheet that "Santa" gave him. Finnally I found mine. Here is where the stockings were:

Dad's was in the big hawian suitcase that was holding Amber's present.

Mom's was behind the celestial room wood cabinet with big glass doors.

Natasha's was tucked safly away in the back of our entry way coat closet.

Amber's was way behind/under the three seater celestial room white couch.

Rachelle's (Mine) was rolled up in some of Dad's big work plans in the office.

Reed's was behind/on top of our small TV behind a board game in the school room.

We were all pumped up and excited, but best of all we were a happy family on Christmas Day.
