Merry Christmas

Christmas is here!
James coming down the stairs.
Chris doing his backward slide down the stairs. His fastest way down!
Santa brought the boys tricycles, books, puzzles, sleeping bags and a new train set.

Chris

James loved the helmet he kept it on half the morning! Santa gave him a harmonica.


Chris got a harmonica too and Daddy is helping him play it.

Santa also brought the boys microphones that he made himself. James LOVED it and was a natural at singing with it. His most requested song was "Jingle Bells". When Chris pulled the microphone out of his stocking, he said "a rotten egg on a stick." Purely a funny moment!  
James belting out the chords to finish the song!




Santa brought (my) Dad a gift card to his favorite store! Who knew Goodwill had gift cards! What a smart Santa! 

Everyone taking a break to make breakfast and start the turkey.

Pops reading to the boys while we wait a little longer to open the presents.



It only took until 9:30am to open the wine! It was for cooking, I promise!


MeMe reading to Chris while he hoards both "rotten egg sticks!"

Starting up the encore!


Look at the form! What a singer!


MeMe made the boys holiday/ seasonal pillowcases and pillows for their big boy beds.
This one is for Halloween.


Chris loves his new pillow!
New books!
Chris helping Dramma with her presents with a bow on his bottom!
Who doesn't love new big boy underwear!

James trying to wear his new underwear as a hat!


Dramma sitting back taking it all in!

Cool new forks from Ashley and family.

Thanks Aunt Mary for the books.

Dramma is so fashionable in her new coat and scarf Mom gave her.
MeMe and Pops took the boys to the Dollar Tree to buy gifts for Minh and I. These were the gifts that Minh received.
Chris gave me the orange socks because that is his favorite color and James picked out the angel snow globe for me. Very cute!
Again it was a wonderful Christmas day and we are so blessed to have a great family to share the day with. Thanks for all the gifts friends and family. The only thing we forgot was a family picture!
