Christmas Day

Our second half of Christmas week was spent with my mom and brother. We went to Bass Pro Shops one morning to let the kids run around. The boys had a blast. We colored some Christmas pictures, checked out Santa from afar (I wasn't even going to attempt pictures), played in some boats...

We made sugar cookies (and a mess) on Christmas Eve. Then off to mass.


Christmas morning, Cooper was the first to wake up. When I went in his room and told him it was Christmas Day, he lit up and exclaimed "Santa bring Big Blue Present!" I'm no exactly sure what he had in mind, but he was excited. Charlie woke up right then, and we went into Jackson's room to wake him. He was still in bed - just waking up, and when I asked him if he knew what day it was, I thought he was going to wet his pants. I've never seen him move so fast.
Santa brought lots of goodies, including a playhouse for the backyard. He left instructions for Colin to put it together. Hopefully this weekend he and the boys can start on it.

What a wonderful Christmas!
