Oh, the Presents!

Every year I wonder if my children have been good enough to receive the coveted visit from Santa. Have they done everything they should? We all know that Santa is watching and that he records what we do during the year. Up until the time we go to bed on Christmas Eve, he is watching! Were the Carroll children good enough this year? Would they receive coal in their stockings or treasures? Look at the pictures to see...
Ugg boots were all Ashton wanted this year--SURPRISE! Santa thought she deserved them.
Easton smiles as he realizes that he was good enough this year for Santa to deliver the DS Nintendo game that he has wanted since playing with the 4 D's this summer in Lake Powell.
Grandma and Grandpa are all smiles as they enjoy some presents. They were especially good this year!
Dallin found a present under the tree that had been wrapped with specially, handmade wrapping paper that he made in first grade. What a treasure! Santa did brings some goodies for Dallin--his number one request was fulfilled, Clark Wallabee boot shoes. And a few other items!
Santa really was obsessed with the whole animal print thing this year. From jammies to purses, gloves, sweaters and cool zebra pens--it felt like a jungle in our family room.
Landon pulled it off too! Santa thought he was a great kid this year and brought him a Nintendo DS too and a super cool remote control car that he had his eye on.

We had a wonderful Christmas morning and having Mom and Dad with us made it especially nice. We've never had them in our home for Christmas. I'm sure they haven't had a wild Christmas morning like ours for years.. They had to get up early (7:30) to enjoy the festivities. Grandpa headed back to bed for about an hour before brunch was served!
Santa did it again! See you next year!

  1. Cool gifts kids. How are the Ug boots Ashton? Those will keep your toes soft and mushy during the winter months at BYU. I don't know what Dallin's boots look like. I guess I'll have to look those up. Way cool you got the DS thingy boys. Mom and Dad look thrilled watching the celebrations. What's up with all the animal print this year? That's a crazy purse Sheila.... a little too loud for me,, but you probably already knew that.. hee hee. Dallin has wrapping paper left over from 1st grade? That's so dang cool. I hope you opened that slowly, you can use it again,,,What a great Christmas for the Carroll family. We sure miss you!

  2. What a fun Christmas!!! Did Landon like his zero gravity car? McCoy has enjoyed his and yes Ugg boots are a necessity walking around BYU.
