Merry late Christmas.

Yesterday, while putting our Christmas stuff away in the garage, I thought to myself how quickly the month of December flew by!  I can't believe Christmas has come and gone... While we had fun celebrating the very special season of Jesus' birth and watching our kids getting excited about all things related (music, books, movies, decorations...), I am ready to get back to normal life! 

I finally found some time to post some Christmas pictures, come see how Christmas with our families went!

Christmas Eve at Grand D-D's...



Jacob loved looking at all of her decorations, especially the baby Jesus.

After dinner, the boys eagerly looked out the window and listened for jingle bells...Even C was curious about what was going on!

Penny made milk and cookies for the special guest.

There he is... Cousin Carl (AKA- Santa Clause!). Big J was eagerly giving him milk in exchange for gifts.

They were all tuning in to see what he had to say.

It is hard to read the name with a wig head full of white hair!

When it was Carter's turn to get a gift, he had no idea what was going on... The look says it all!

After the kids said their goodbyes to Santa, the mingling began.

Grandma and daddy caught the contagious smiles of C-man!

Oh, what a wonderful first Christmas for this little guy!

A drive home & a few short sleeping hours later, these guys caught a glimpse of all the gifts under our tree and the full stockings and were ready for round 2!

Carter got fancy baby food...

J was pretty excited about undies!

Puzzle for K!

Little J got a lot of attention as he opened his play food.

He began playing his drum right away (too bad it broke a minute later!). 

This is a COOL maze ball toy from Auntie Amy & Uncle Robbie... They always pick out great toys!

K is totally into learning how the body works and would not put down his new what is inside the body book... He kept telling us "Hold on, I am looking at my book!!" when we told him that it was his turn to open a gift!

Magic School Bus movie... The book series is what got him so fascinated with the how the body works!

Big J got spy gear... Glasses that you can see what is behind you, spy watch & walkie talkies.

Can't forget the latest toy obsession... Transformers!

Group gift from G & G R... a Castle play set!

Can't forget the 'mom' gifts (practical and cute!)... They look so excited, don't they!

C practiced his steps!

Dad got a vintage Transformer... it was the hit of the day for him and Josh!

The boys spent most of the day play pretending with their new castle!

Merry Christmas.
