Christmas CelebrationS

As usual we had the Christmas that kept on giving! Although out of order, this first Christmas post is Christmas morning at our house.

The tree! We got a smaller tree this year so we could put it in the living room, in front of the window. For future reference when I'm old and asking myself, what is that terrible white spot on the wall, we are waiting to paint the house until closer to the time we will put it on the market. Painting a house that is full of boys and expecting it to stay nice would just be an exercise in frustration. So, that's why there are white texture repair spots all over the house. Lots of handmade little boy ornaments all over the tree!

The stockings, filled to the brim, along with the empty plate of Santa cookies. Nathan was SO excited that the plate was empty. So glad we got that reaction on video. Then night before, after we had decorated the cookies, I asked Nathan where we should put the cookies. He said, "We should put them by the fireplace, that way Santa is sure to find them!" I could just eat him up!
Eli, investigating his stocking with Mommy.

Checking out the Thomas pillow pet!

Showing Mommy Luke's James (Santa should have brought Eli more trains!).

Loving on his USM sock monkey :) (and holding Luke's other train from Santa!)

Luke and Nate digging into the stockings. Luke was happily digging into the first treasure, candy corn, when he realized there was more!

And, the famous Track Master Cranky! Luke had been saying he wanted Track Master Cranky for months!

One of Nathan's favorite gifts!



And, his other favorite gift! Santa had to work HARD to find these two gifts for Nathan.

We'll have to leave the football playing to Nathan I guess.

A few pictures of my super handsome boys!







It was a Merry Christmas!
