Christmas Part 4

It is officially Christmas Day and although we enjoyed time visiting with our families yesterday, we were pretty happy to have a relaxing day to ourselves. We woke around 8am, and the boys both slept in until 8:30am. They both woke up at the same time, which made it nice neither of them had to wait to open Santa gifts. ET noticed right away that Santa had eaten his cookies and drank the milk we set out for him. Both boys opened their gifts by the tree. Then we had a nice breakfast (sausage egg scramble, and cinnamon rolls). We spent the whole day just playing with the boys and opening their new gifts. I made a traditional turkey dinner with gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, and a Christmas jello salad. After cleaning up a bit, the boys opened their gifts from Jay and I.
Here are the pics of the day...


Here the boys playing with a few of their new gifts...


A mini computer from Auntie Tammy and Uncle Scott.



A riding letter train from Papa Bob and Gma Darlyn.

A cloth "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" book from Santa.

A mini Frosty and Christmas tree Lego set from Santa.


Playing with Daddy and his new Transformers.

Here is Jay carving the turkey. I was making the gravy and we asked ET to go potty and wash up for dinner. It was at this time he decided to have a major meltdown in the bathroom. He thought it was a good time to tell me that he no longer wants to wear Sesame Street underwear because it isn't cool anymore. Sounds funny, but it wasn't fun trying to defuse a three year old when making the last minutes preparations for a special Christmas dinner! :)


Presents time! :)




For ET's first Christmas Jay and I said we would get him a gift that we would keep forever and take out every Christmas from now on. For ET we bought him the Fisher Price Santa train. For Nate we decided on the Fisher Price nativity set.

More Transformers! :)

A talking puzzle of the United States of America.


It is the end of the evening and the boys are watching good old "Mickey's Christmas" before heading off to bed. We will be celebrating Christmas part 5 at my sister's (Becky) house tomorrow.
