Merry Christmas!

 Christmas is finally here!!!!

The boys were so excited!  H had a Lalaloopsy pirate waiting for him from Santa, and C had a Tow Mater truck!  They were so excited! 

 C was quite theatrical tearing into his presents.  He tore of each piece of wrapping with a flourish and almost seemed to get mad at the wrapping towards the end of each gift.  It was entertaining to watch.

 Santa brought something for Tatum too!  He was a happy dog!

 H was good at playing Santa (he knows our names now) and enjoyed checking out each new toy before moving on to the next.

 Starting to feel like my house may never feel clean again!  Happy boys, but what a mess!  They each got a DVD, a light up animal, a building toy, a bath toy, and more.  I wanted to make this Christmas enjoyable, and I think it was!

 Enjoying H's building toy - Wall Coaster, like an on-the-wall marble run.  We have spent so much time enjoying this! It can get a little exciting with marbles rolling all over out concrete floor with Tatum chasing after them, but we have had so much fun!  

C got Magformers, a light up magnetic building set.  Such fun, and they are really using their imagination and creativity to build!  They made little kennels for their animals.

 I think we were all feeling a bit like this after all of the excitement!  We put on one of the boys new DVDs and rested up to go to Mary Ann's for Christmas dinner.  I gave the boys a basket to put their new toys in and they carried those baskets around with them all day long!

 We had a wonderful Christmas dinner with my aunt, uncle, cousin, and grandmother.  And more presents!  What a wonderful time to be with family!  I am thankful to be living close to family again.

We finished the day snuggled up in pjs on my bed, watching Polar Express.  It was a good day from start to finish!
