Christmas!!

This year, the boys took an active role in helping us decorate for Christmas. They helped Todd put the lights out in the front yard (unfortunately I didn't get a picture of that), and they helped decorate the Christmas tree this year. They had a great time and really enjoyed doing it! They were very proud of their work and showed everyone that came over what they did and showed them their favorite ornaments. Here is a picture of their decorating job. There were many limbs that had multiple ornaments on them, and there were spots that had absolutely NOTHING, but it was their work, and I didn't change it! I was pretty proud of myself!

The boys had a wonderful Christmas this year! They really had a blast with all SIX of their Christmas celebrations! Santa was VERY good to them too! They were really excited that Santa brought them a Nintendo Wii for Christmas as well as quite a few games, accessories, and Guitar Hero (Wii fit came for mommy too .... ). They got such a wide variety of toys from legos to super hero action figures. They got board games and video games ... they were treated so good by Santa and family. Christmas was wonderful!

At my Grandpa's Christmas party, the boys got to see Santa Claus and get presents from him. That was pretty exciting for them. Gavin was scared of Santa initially and used one of my aunts as a "sheild" from Santa's view, but once he saw that he came "bearing gifts" he was OK with being seen by Santa. They had a great time with all of their extended family, cousins(my cousins children), grandparents, aunts, uncles ... everyone! They played and ran around all night long! It's always a struggle to get them to leave!
