Christmas 2008

We made Luke wait until Aunt Cara, Grammy, Papa got over from Cara's house at 7am before he could come downstairs to open the presents. He didn't understand about Santa. First he went into the room where the Christmas tree was. I had to explain to him to go look by the fireplace where we hung our stockings and left the granola bar and Little Debbie Christmas tree cake.

Here's the family as we come downstairs to see if Santa came. It's a little dark in the video b/c the sun is not up yet!

Opening Stockings and Santa presents:


Santa must have gotten Luke's letter b/c Luke got a Coke in his stocking. Luke knows not to ask mommy for a Coke, but it looks like Santa came through. Mommy will NOT be giving him another one anytime soon. I decided that as I watched him just jump up and down in one spot for a while after drinking it.
Titus didn't really enjoy opening presents this year. He got to the yougurt raisins in his stockings and just enjoyed those. Here he is eating one of the marshmellows out of Luke's stocking while sitting with his daddy.

Luke got a big magnifying glass from Santa. He wanted to find some bugs immediately.
Aunt Cara, Grammy and Papa laughing at the kiddos.

After breakfast, we head for the Christmas tree:



Like I said, Titus really just wanted those yogurt raisins.
After present festivities:
The boys went on a walk with Grammy and Papa. They went to the park and fed the ducks. Those ducks know when they see Titus's blue car coming that they're getting a snack and they come running. Papa is always great to take them to the park!


Football and napping for Micah! May I add that he is resting comfortably underneath a blanket that was custom made to be long enough for him. The blanket is over 7 ft. long and he can tuck it under his feet.
Playing with toys and calling family that we couldn't be with on Christmas.


Dinner and bath times-What a fun day! Christmas is so much fun when you have kids :) They are a joy.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Also, Ava had us read her new book no less than 10 times today and slept with it at nap and tonight. Thank you!
