We wanted a "on the stairs before presents picture" but no one was coming. They were looking out the window at the snow. Michael and Joseph were the only ones excited to see what Santa brought, I guess.
Finally we got everyone. Matthew was mad to be taken away from the snow.
Joseph found the twins Santa present! Perfect timing cuz our other little tykes basketball hoop broke the month before.
Nice shot Matthew! Matthew really enjoyed the basketball hoop. Funny, they like the old, brown ball more than the new, orange one.
Makayla was excited to find nail polish in her stocking.

Reading one of the 8!! new books from Grandma & Grandpa Loftus (I requested books for them cuz they seriously love looking at books so much.) We had a fun surprise looking out the window at the snow & seeing one of our neighbors shoveling our driveway. We caught many people shoveling our driveway for us while Rob was on crutches. I didn't take pictures of the other kids Santa presents....or grandparent presents for that matter. It's a hard balance to enjoy the moment and record it. Santa brought Christopher a quad-copter, Michael a remote control car, and Makayla the movie Frozen & a box of 8 frozen puzzles. (she asked had been wanting new puzzles for a while, but wanted to ask Santa for the frozen movie and a my little pony movie (funny cuz we don't have my little ponies). The boys were pleasantly surprised with their gifts. Rob and I got a new tv (we put it downstairs and moved the other one to our room.) and I got a mini-loaves pan. It was a fun, low-key (just our little/big family) Christmas.
