Merry Christmas!

One of my favorite things to do as a parent is play Santa. I think it's fun and exciting and I love to see the smiles and excitement the boys have as they come into the room and see all their loot. To me it's a priceless moment. This year we actually had to wake the boys up at 8:00 am to go into the main house to join the rest of the family that was waiting for us to open presents.

We tried to go around and have the kids all take turns and open presents one at a time but that didn't last long before they just starting opening everything in their piles. I love just hanging out in our PJ's for the morning while the boys play with all their new toys.  This time it was nice because we had a lot of family to share the morning with.

The rest of the day was spent cooking, watching movies in the theater room and playing with cousins.  It was a very nice, cold, white Christmas for us.
The piles of goodies.
 Logan's presents included Thomas trains, Ninja Turtle mask & sword, new clothes, a letter game, some slime and floam, a couple Blu-Rays, Legos and a remote control tank.
 Lincoln's presents included some games, a Shredder mask & sword, Minecraft beanie and Legos, art kit, giant Pop Rocks, slime, some Blue-Rays and a matching remote control tank. 
 The set up in Tutu's living room for Christmas morning.
 The boys are getting along better and starting to roughhouse more often.  This is how I found them Christmas afternoon, playing in the entryway. First they were having a snowball fight (with the fake little white snowballs) and then that turned into them tackling each other. 
Ricky made several different pies, from scratch, with his mom.
Logan loved watching movies on the fun chairs with the cozy blankets in the movie room. 
 Logan played Twister with daddy. 
Lincoln played his new Battleship game with mommy. 
The boys battled against each other with their new tanks.
