Our Christmas

Our Christmas was GREAT! We went to Jeff's parents for Christmas Eve dinner and stories. The boys opened their PJ's, and changed there. Then home to get ready for Santa. We left Santa some cookies and milk, and the reindeer some carrots. The boys were asleep by 10pm! Mom and Dad got to bed by midnight! Just in time for Santa to come. We told the boys they couldn't leave their room until 7am. They said they woke up at 6:50, but they didn't come get us until 7:02. I actually woke up at 6:30 to feed Aryk, and got so excited while I waited for them!

Ashton and AJ wrote letters to Santa a couple weeks ago, on their wish lists they asked for "real" light sabers and The Force. We tried to tell them that these were made up for the movies, there aren't "real" light sabers or The Force. They kept reminding us that Santa was magic, and he could do anything. We reminded them Santa isn't a Jedi, and that some things even Santa's magic can't make. They were so sure He would pull through for them. Ashton and Jeff also asked for a Wii. This Santa was able to make! We all asked Santa to bring Aryk a piano. That way he could play his piano while mommy played hers! Because I all ready got the piano for Christmas, I only asked Santa for one thing. If he brought Jeff and Ashton the Wii, to bring Rock Band, so we all could play together.

Here was our Christmas Morning-

Santa brought the Wii, Rock Band, and Wii Fit.

The boys stocking were full of Wii accessories- remotes, wheels, games, light sabers.

Aryk got the piano we all asked for! He LOVES it!

Ashton and AJ got a TON of Star Wars toys from Mom Dad and Aryk.
They love those little guys!

We tried to teach Aryk how to open presents. He didn't get it, but he thought it was fun,
and he got some fun things!

Ashton and AJ gave Aryk a baby size baseball tee.

And He has been enjoying it!

Great Grandma Likes (Jeff's Grandma) gave the boys this train set.
They are so excited to put it around the Christmas tree!

Opening presents only lasted until about 8am. Then it was opening packages, setting up the Wii, and playing ALL morning! And ALL afternoon. We finally left to go to Jeff's parent's at 4pm! We were loving our Christmas presents and playing. So... here's what the boys got from Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Cam-

Star Wars ships, vehicles, and action figures. There were so many!
Jeff was having fun playing with boys and their new toys!

Aryk had his turn to open presents too!
He still didn't get it, but he had fun with toys afterward!

Aunt Nicole was generous, as usual!

The boys always enjoy her gifts.


And were happy to show her how thankful they are too!

Thanks to all our family and friends who helped make this an enjoyable Christmas!

And we still have to go to Utah and have Christmas with the Holbrook side! WOW!! We hope you all had a Merry Christmas wish you a Happy New Year!
