Ensign-isms

An ensignism is a story about Taylor, Alisa, Cassidy, Mckay, and Kelsey Ensign. These stories may be elaborate or mundane, but with the combined personalities of our little family, they are sure to be entertaining.

Christmas Morning

GOOD MORNING!
Well, at least Cassidy woke up on the right side of the bed.
Mckay became happy and alert when he saw that Santa found our house.
The milk, cookies, carrots and lettuce were gone. Mckay asked, "How come Santa didn't drink all the milk?" I guess next year Santa will have to drink every last drop.
As the kids rounded the corner on Christmas morning they had sensory over load. They scanned the tree and the pile of presents. They just stood staring. Mckay was the first to notice that Santa had come. He showed Cassidy where her gift was and just stood there. We had to show him where his gift was.

Santa also brought a large playhouse, but the kids didn't even see it. I finally had to ask them, "Do you see anything else in the room. Something where the chair used to be?" Then the kids saw it. They ran to it yelling, "We have a club house!" Cassidy said, "Mckay you can go in first. You are shorter." For several minutes stockings and presents were forgotten and the kids just played. It was lots of fun!!!

After playing for a while we thought it was time to start opening gifts. We made small piles for the kids as Cassidy said, "Aren't we going to say a prayer before we open our gifts?" I had previously told her of the tradition I had growing up. Taylor and I were proud of her for thinking about Christ and being grateful for the material things that we have been blessed with.
Mckay already had one scruffy dog. Santa brought one more.
Cassidy got a princess, keyboard vanity for Christmas.
Waiting his turn.

Mckay and his dragon castle.
"I Love Dad!"

The club house!
