Christmas 2011

 Christmas day has finally arrived. Boy, does it take a lot of work to get to this point. It has been a very long month at the Powell home. Lots of hard days but I'm happy to report Christmas Day was quite wonderful. We had such a great day together, truly a tender mercy from the Lord.
We woke at 6:30am and the kids got to see the one gift from Santa (that was not wrapped) and also open their stockings. We ate a nice breakfast and went to church. After Church we returned home to unwrap the rest of the gifts. Magically everyone was happy and grateful. Amazing!
Here are the highlights...
Picture above (Star), Wade finished yesterday. I needed a star so he hand carved one for me. Amazing, he has skills!
Madi (below) enjoying her electric keyboard.
 Joshua's new punching bag for his room. You have no idea how helpful this will be!
 Ike scored a batman cave but he likes to call it his museum.
 Ella with her ipod shuffle, now she can leave mine alone!
 On the stairs ready to see what Santa brought.
 Wade, making me a star. :)
Hope you all had a wonderful day.
