Christmas

We had a great Christmas. The boys were so excited. We had no problem getting them to bed Christams eve but Cole came into our room at 4:45 AM and asked if we could open presents. I said you can go and look and see if Santa has come yet but you have to go back to bed for 1 more hour. So after he looked he went back into bed and sure enough at 5:45 he came back into our room to let us know it had been an hour. We managed to hold him off until 6:10 and then off to open presents.

Cal was so cute. He loved everything he got. Everytime he opened a present he got so excited and wanted it open right that min. He loved his hammer to most. Cole was very slow opening his presents he wanted it to last as long as possible. He was most excited about getting Zoo Tycoon. Cade was searching through his presents trying to find one that looked like lego batman, too bad it wasn't in any of his presents. He had to wait to get that one from grandma but he loved his treasure chest that he got.

After all the gifts were open we took the boys downstairs for our family present. We got an air hockey table. The boys thought it was the greatest present. I have had this sitting it storage for 9 months. I found it at Sears on clearance for 25.00. We were not sure how good it would be but much to our suprise it is a really good table. Aaron and I have also had a great time playing it.

At 9:00 we went to my moms for breakfast and presents. Everyone had a great time. Then back to our house for a nap and playing with a few toys. Then off to Aarons moms at 4:00 where we had dinner, the children acted out the Christmas story, and opened presents. Once again everyone had a great time. It was such a great Christmas and we are so blessed to have great families to spend them with.

Holy cow! Are you kidding me - you guys got started at 6 - that is CRAZY! My parents came over at 7 and we waited awhile and then finally decided to wake up the kids just before 7:30 I think. Ha ha ha of course they sleep in the year I invite my parents to come - ha ha ha!
Glad you had a great christmas. I guess we have something to talk about when I see you right??? :)
