I think we are the only family in America that didn't have a Wii. Luckily, Santa took care of that this year. Wii have had a blast with it. Cooking Mama is my personal favorite game.
Nice serve Rusty, NOT!!! Ben totally kicked your butt.
Sam shares EVERYTHING, even his "Fruit By the Foot" with Gramma.
Most pictures I take of my kids opening presents get instantly deleted because they don't really "capture" what I'm going for. This one, however, is a winner with Ben. He was truly excited about this Harry Potter dvd.
Molly woke up about an hour after the rest of us, and was not disappointed with all her princess gear and Bitty Baby accessories that Santa left her.
Another favorite Christmas picture. Meg has asked for a digital camera for three years now. And it was pink no less.
Ben's Christmas can be summed up with two phrases, "DS games," and "BYU paraphernalia." We gave him not only a BYU hat and sweatshirt but a rug that is 7 feet long and looks like the BYU football field.
Sam got a cheetah rug from Santa and made good use of it later that day.
Rusty and I gave Molly a play kitchen (if it looks familiar it's probably because it was the one at Costco). Molly loves it. I actually find Meg playing with it as much as Molly does. 
Around 3 p.m. we headed to Rusty's aunt and uncle's house for dinner and more presents. The day was beginning to wear on Molly.
Lisa and Paul gave us a "Whirley-Pop." We have made some GRRRRRReat popcorn with this.
My kids made safety pin bead bracelets for Grammi, Gramma Kathy and Aunt Valerie.
Every Christmas night the kids and Rusty sleep in the living room so they can just wake up the next morning and start playing with their new stuff. Gramma Kathy slept with them, but only lasted about 5 minutes before going on Meg's bed. There's a shot of Ben's rug.
A few days after Christmas one of our favorite families in the world came to visit and stay with us. . .The Waltons. 
We love to be with them and their kids are such great examples to our kids. Thanks for coming. Sam, Sydney, Meg, Ben, Peter, Katie and Molly.

Do you like the Wii fit? I've heard mixed reviews. And oh my word I can't believe how old the Walton's kids are! Those girls used to be so young, and I think they're taller than me now! That's really fun that you guys got to visit with them.
I haven't checked out your blog in a while. You had lots of great Christmas pictures. I'm so jealous you and the Walton's got to hang out! Looks like you had a blast!
How do you like the Wii Fit? Wondering if we should get one.
Also, I LOVE seeing that gumball machine in your basement!
