Christmas Day

Amazingly, the kids actually slept till almost 8:00 in the morning - a blessing since it was so late when we finally got to bed last night.  But there was lots of enthusiasm for seeing the tree, the stockings and gifts once they were awake though Karsten was a bit bewildered by it all.

Dagny had fun checking out her stocking after looking over the marvelous suitcase of paints, colored pencils and pens and crayons that Santa brought for her.

Here Anders is tearing open a gift from one of his cousins - an electronic Battleship game.

And Karsten is already on his Santa gift while checking out another package his mom is holding
