Christmas

The boys snuck upstairs like little ninjas to get to their Christmas presents.

Luckily, they were so excited by their gigantic sand shovels that they didn't tear into the presents until Mommy, Daddy, and Mason got upstairs.

They tore into their gifts from Santa, Grammy, Papa, Uncle Aaron, and Miss Lindsay.

They played for a while before Grandma and Uncle Chris came over.

And then round 2 of present-opening began!

The boys stayed in their pajamas all day. We had Christmas dinner at our house.

It was a very merry Christmas.

Ready for Santa!

Cookies set out(Santa's Whiskers this year)

and the boys sprinkled their Reindeer Food out in the backyard.

In Front of the Tree

Our attempts to get pics of the boys in front of the tree on Christmas Eve.

Adam's face in this pic pretty much says it all.

Elf Pajamas

The Christmas Elf rang our doorbell, dropped off the pjs, and ran.

I think that the magic sleepy dust was defective this year, because the boys did not want to go to bed, at all.

Paper was flying as they tore into their gifts.

Painting Ornaments

The boys made almost all the ornaments on our tree this year, either at preschool or at home.

Breakfast with Santa

We went to a breakfast with Santa this morning.

Mason was okay when Santa was walking around talking to the kids.

But, he really wasn't too sure about sitting in his lap. No tears....

but he did squirm his way right out of Santa's lap pretty quickly.

Jackie and Adam wanted to go together.

For the record: Jackie has requested a "real" camera and Mickey Mouse Choo-choo express. That's it- though he wants us to be sure that his choo-choo express has passengers and extra cars. Adam wants sand toys- lots of sand toys.
