My favorite being this one.  Although I think I like it more than she does.  I think I’ll just have to order one for me!

Even Nathan got a few gifts.   The one from Dallin was his favorite – COAL in his stocking!

And he even liked the one from me.  It is an absolutely beautiful CD of hymns done in a non-traditional more folk song way.  I love them too!

After ripping open all the presents we enjoyed our traditional breakfast of crepes.  Nathan make a claim that he can put one together better than I can.  So I put his theory to the test and polled the expert world of Facebook.

Crepes

I won 11 to 0.  I think we all knew it would turn out that way.  :)

After my big win, the kids spent some time playing with their gifts.

Even Nathan got in on the Lego Beauty shop action.
