I love Christmas and it has gotten so much better seeing Christmas through my children's eyes!
Walking down the hall to go see if Santa came.
He did come! He brought one present each for both boys and a combined present.
Before they opened any presents they wanted to go check the plate of cookies and milk, and sure enough Santa ate them! He even brought the magic key inside and left it by the plate.
Daddy got us some new skis. Not sure why he is so shocked because he was the one to buy them.
We enjoyed watching the boys unwrapped all of their presents.
They got some cool toys!
Christmas morning selfies are always a must!
After unwrapping all of the presents we got to Skype with Mama Ashley and Derek. This has become a fun tradition!
They opened presents from them.
And had a great Christmas conversation!
Both boys got Optimus Prime as one of their gifts. They are really getting into transformers!
Later we went over to grandma and grandpa's house for a Christmas breakfast. We can't forget another selfie!
The cousins get a name and buy a present for one cousin and exchange gifts on Christmas. One of the big reasons I like this is because I want to get the boys feeling the joy of giving. We went shopping one night for our cousin gifts and both of the boys made me so happy. Alex had Carson's name and I asked him what he wanted to get him. He thought about it a moment and decided a bat. I asked him why a bat, and he said because Carson really likes baseball. We weren't able to get him a bat but Alex got him a gift card so he could pick out his own bat. DJ had Marah and he had decided on dance clothes for her because she loves to dance. After talking to his mom she said no clothes but gave us some options that she might enjoy. One was a Wii game. While looking at games DJ quickly picks out the one just for Marah. No, it wasn't a little kid game he wanted, but the new Just Dance. I was so proud of my boys for thinking about someone else and after talking about picking something for the other person and not for themselves, they did an amazing job choosing perfect gifts for their cousins!
Both boys got glow in the dark race tracks from grandma and grandpa.
The race track was a hit the rest of the time.
Almost all of the kids got into building the track and making it better during the day.
Later that night we came home and took apart the boys' bed because Santa brought a bunk bed.
It was a lot of fun working on this project together!
We got them new bedding to go on their beds. They love them already!
And yes, daddy already taught them how to make forts.
