Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Poelstra family!  We are celebrating Christmas today as Steve leaves for work at 5am tomorrow. 
 
Despite the kids having a rough day yesterday, Santa still decided to bring them some presents! 
 
Olivia received her very own car or "beep, beep" as our family calls them!  When Steve brought her into the living room this morning she was squirming away from him.  Of course I thought she wanted to come and sit by me!  But no!!  When he set her down she went straight for the car!  It was really cute!  And the excitement has not waned yet!  She has been on and off that car all day!  Her enthusiasm for it actually surprised me as I didn't think she would love it as much as she does!
 
Faith opening her first gift! I don't think she would have cared what it was as long as it was not clothes or a book!  She has not let us forget that last year that was all she received!
 
Shane was very excited about his Batman sweatshirt!
 
I knew it was coming...clothes!!!  Her exact words were, "Not again!"  And while this looks staged, it was totally candid!  But thankfully we did not end the day (or start the morning!) with clothes...
 
Receiving the Star Wars Trilogy caused the words "best Christmas ever!" to escape from two little kids!  In fact, they are watching one as I type! 
 
Olivia playing with her beep beep!  It plays quite a bit of music, which is especially fitting for our little dancer who likes to groove anytime she hears music!
 
This was from yesterday!  We finally made the time to bake and decorate some Christmas cookies!  We hope everyone has a Merry and Bright Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus our Savior!
