Our lovely decorated Christmas tree. Each year the kids get a few new ornaments of their very own. This year, the boys got superhero, Scooby Doo, and Mickey Mouse ornaments. Holly got a ballerina and Disney princess ornaments. I have always loved beautiful glass ornaments for our tree and I so enjoy the yearly tradition to add to the collection!On Christmas eve, the Schlichting family came to our house for food, fun, and presents. We used our pool table for a gigantic buffet table since we had so many good things to eat!
Carson couldn't wait to start on the presents. Some of his favorites this year were, Toy Story tennis shoes, a "fur real" doggy, and a shark bath towel.
Tate opened (with Cheddar's help), new Lego's, "How to Train Your Dragon" cup and plate set, and Leap Frog learning numbers DVDs.
The boys love their Mimi!
After the Christmas eve party was over, the house was quiet, and kids asleep, Santa finally came to our house. In preparation, Tate put out milk and cookies for Santa, and oatmeal reindeer food on the front lawn. Santa brought Tate a castle with knights and horses, Carson received a Toy Story bicycle, and Holly got a ride-on pony and toy purse set.
Christmas morning, Tate was up first. We tried to procrastinate a bit so Carson could get a few more minutes of sleep, but Tate was too excited to wait any longer. We woke up Carson and Holly and all went downstairs together to see what Santa had brought. We all then opened presents from each other too. Holly was excited about her new princess cash register that her brothers picked out for her. I hope this toy doesn't promote a love of shopping and spending already!
Tate found lots of fun things in his stocking too!
Later in the day on Christmas Day, my dad and my grandparents stopped by our house for a brief hello and bring a few gifts. Then after their visit, we were on to our last event for the day. We went to Eric's parent's house for Christmas Dinner. The excitement of opening presents had not dwindled at all, even by the end of the day, so Tate happily distributed gifts to everyone.
Holly sat on RahRah's lap to open her "Little People" doll house.
I am wearing the sweater that Tate picked out for me for Christmas. Eric had taken both boys shopping so they could have the chance to each personally pick out a gift for me. Tate did a great job, I love this sweater! Carson's gift was so thoughtful too. He carefully chose for me a vanilla scented candle and a 6 pack of rainbow colored lighters to go with it. I am so lucky to have such great boys!
At the end of the evening, it was time to put on pjs and get comfy before heading home from RahRah and Papa's house. The boys had such a busy day, that they both ended up falling asleep during the 10 minute car ride home and were carried up to bed for the night.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
