Merry Christmas!!

Another wonderful Christmas for the Peacock Family. We woke up to a very white and windy Christmas. It was actually blizzard like conditions here in Herriman so we were extra happy to be warm and cozy inside. Sadie was the first to be awake...way too early of course at 6:00. She and I just hung out until the rest of the crew woke up. We have a tradition that they all have to come down the stairs together so I can video the whole thing. There is nothing like seeing the kids' faces when they first come into the family room and see that Santa has come. Cayden is definitely the most animated and excited! They all were spoiled this year and got lots of fun presents. Cayden's favorites were his new basketball and football as well as his new lightsabers to add to his collection. McKell and Ashlee both got Fur Real baby bears and apparently Sadie loved more than them. Ashlee also got a talking Fur Real parrot and it was hilarious to see Sadie play with that thing. She thinks it is real and gets so excited when it starts moving and talking. Sadie got a new pink silky blankie and a baby doll for her favorites. Rob got a GPS which he is very excited about and I got a new cell phone. Yeah!! The big surprise and highlight was that Santa brought our family a Wii. It has been SO much fun for everyone. We had our traditional orange pull-apart rolls and hot chocolate for breakfast and then spent the day just hanging out, playing with new toys, sleeping, etc. Later in the day we headed to my parents' home for dinner and visiting. We definitely were blessed this Christmas.

Sadie loved her new ball from McKell

Sadie also thought every box and package was her own personal stepping stool and chair

McKell was SO excited to get a nutcracker

Ashlee LOVED her new big fluffy pillow from Grandpa and Grandma Neilson
