Merry Christmas!!!!!

We had another quiet Christmas this year.  It was just the four of us in the morning.  One thing that the boys mentioned before Christmas this year was last years Christmas was AWESOME because they were able to stay in their pajamas all day.  It was the first time in our whole married life that we didn't go someplace for Christmas.  So I was hoping they were okay with that again this year.  So David's schedule was so messed up that he had less than a couple of hours sleep.  I told the boys that they couldn't wake us up till 6 am, but they saw the light on downstairs and came in to my room at 5:53.  I am not sure how long they were up before that though.

 

The boys in the matching pajamas!!  Another tradition that we have is that they must sing Jingle Bells before they can come down.

 

They were so excited!!!  Santa came!!!

 

Starting to rip into their presents.

 

Michael said forget it and just decided to dump the stocking out.  :-)

 

AJ followed suit!!!

 

David with his Cougar Santa hat!!!  Go Cougs!!!

 

Stockings done and now they are into the other presents.

 

Working on joint presents now!

 

Now it is David's turn to open presents.

 

They decided to let Mommy open a few presents, with a little help!!!

 

I love how this one turned out - David took a good shot!!!

 

David and a new Seahawk shirt.  There was definitely a theme this year for David!!

 

Michael was excited about his new toothbrush, it plays music and you know how much he loves to dance!!!  He wanted the picture with his reindeer hat on.

 

 

After presents both David and I needed a little nap so AJ spent two hours building this Lego set all by himself!!  He did such a fantastic job!!!!

 

We all went up and played Legos after that - one of the boys favorite things to do.

 

The boys really into it and I love it!!!  That afternoon we headed over to our good friends' house for Christmas dinner.

 

The boys received presents there too!!  They were so excited!!!

 

Our wonderful cook, Amber!!!!!!!

 

The boys and I decided to bake a cake for Jesus since it was his birthday!  All the kids put a candle in it.

 

Since Jesus can't really blow out the candles, the kids decided to help!

 

After dinner the boys had a little karaoke and dance party!!

 

While the wonderful husbands were cleaning up the kitchen!!  It was a wonderful Christmas!!  It was great spending it with friends that are family!  When you are this far away, it is so nice to have friends like that!!  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!
