Christmas Morning

The very last Christmas post! Then, I can move on to more current events! Anyway, here is the loot Santa left for us! Santa leaves three gifts + stocking stuff. We just have so much and get so much that this is definitely enough!

Preston's handmade stocking! The felt takes way less time then the cross stiched one...like 10 months less :)

Kate's stocking! I got it in November 2009 thinking it would be done for Christmas 09...only a year late!



Santa and the reindeer's treats



Kate so excited about her 4 wheeler

Preston and his gifts

Loving her stocking candy...I think she ate about 5 chocolate Santas this day...she stole everyone's at my parents house from their stockings!

The greatest gifts of all!

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day.  Don't clean it up too quickly.  ~Andy Rooney

8 Christmases and some partays!

For the Cutest Boy's Christmas gift this year, I did The 12 Days of Christmas. He had a happy of some sort in his stocking every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas. It was a fun way to drag out the gifts a little bit, and I had to be creative too! Here are the kiddos and me shopping for him. 

Shopping at Bass Pro and visiting santa

Our Little Man turned two months old! He was such a trooper with his shots. Poor Baby got furious, and then was ok!

He was 12 lbs 10 oz and 24 inches long! Sweet boy likes to eat!



As you can tell from this picture, he is constantly moving. He was like this in the womb, and hasn't stopped since he has been born. He has already rolled over several times, and shakes his cradle, all. night. long.

We end Christmas day with a movie and Chiniese food...this was Kates 1st movie!! She loved Tangled...said, WOW!! over and over!

That makes me tired remembering all of that. I really do love Christmas, it just gets exhausting...especially with babies! We have tried to cut out any excess so that we can enjoy the events we do attend, but the minimum is still seems like alot. Luke claims this is why his favorite holiday is the 4th of July...all you have to do is lay in the pool! haha!

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:  the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.  ~Burton Hillis
