Merry Christmas!!

Once again, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day came and went too fast!! I was most looking forward to this year, not to see what I would get, but to see the boys faces when they opened their presents. Christmas Eve, we always get together with my mother's side of the family. It is always so fun to see the boys play with their cousins! (And boy are there a lot of them!!) On the way home we drove around to look at lights. There is a special house that the boys refer to as "the guys house." He has his lights set to music that you can listen to in your car!! We must have driven by his house at least 15 times this month!! Christmas Eve my parents come back to out house and spend the night. The boys always love this. Before we went to bed we had to put out milk and cookies for Santa, and we had to put out Santa's keys. Since we don't have a fireplace, we have special magic keys so Santa can get inside!! ;) Christmas morning we all woke up early, Pat and I could not even sleep!! The first thing the boys asked for was Mima. They wanted to make sure that my parents were still here!! Then they got to see what Santa brought in the middle of the night. I always make sure to get their reaction on video because I do not want to miss a thing!! The first big present they opened was for both of them, and was a great big play kitchen from Mima and Papa. Thatcher started cooking right away. He has always loved helping me in the kitchen so now he has his very own to play with. He was so excited to see that some of his other presents consisted of play food and more dishes. We had a hard time getting him to open more presents because he was so busy cooking!! Sawyer just opened present after present. He was so excited. What he asked Santa for this year was a big spike. Well, Santa had hid it in our closet so we could bring it out very last. His reaction was priceless!! He heard the spike dinosaur walking around the corner and ran to see what the noise was. He caught a glimpse and ran back to the living room his face in total shock. Then he says, "A remote control Spike!!" and ran back to investigate. We could not tear him away from the toy he has been begging for, for the last 2 months!! He managed to drain the battery before lunch! While Thatcher was taking a nap, Pat went to go pick up his Grandma so she could spend the rest of the afternoon with us. We spent the rest of the day watching new movies, and just relaxing!! We had a great Christmas this year and we hope you did too!!
