Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! Hope you all had a great Christmas....I know we did!

Santa spoiled the kids rotten as usual...

The boys were thrilled to see that Santa brought them their big present request....a bounce house!! Carver thought it was pretty cool that Santa even had it blown up and ready to go in the playroom.

He left arrows for the boys to follow from the living room to the playroom. Here's a run down of their reaction when they saw that Santa had come....."What are the arrows for? what are the arrows for? What are the arrows for?" as the followed the arrows to the playroom....as they got to the bottom of stairs..."Bounce House! Bounce House! Bounce House!!"

It took some convincing but we finally got them to come upstairs to open their other presents....

but I'm pretty sure they were happy that they did......since this is just some of what they ended up with for Christmas after Christmas eve with both of their Grandmas and Christmas day at home...


Here are some highlights from our Christmas eve.....

We had Christmas eve brunch with my mom, Papa Steve, my brother and some other family and Christmas eve evening with Chris's mom and Grandpa Bob

Carver was pretty excited to get a Hawkeye football uniform from Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Bob

Daddy and Carver were having lots of fun opening presents.....

The boys loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa.....

and they were as excited about their new shoes as they were about some of their toys :)

And the boys were sooooo excited to see Papa Steve's surprise for them.....he built them bunk beds!!!! They can't wait for mommy to get them stained and to get them moved in so they can start sleeping in them. Thanks Papa Steve!!

They loved spending time with their Memaw and getting some really cool presents from her!!

and Uncle Dylan and the soon to be Aunt Kelly too..... :)

Of all of the gifts that Kayden received this Christmas he insists that this is his favorite....a Toy Story chair that Carver picked out for him :)

and Carver was pretty excited about the GI Joe that Kayden picked out for him but he can't decide what his favorite gift is just yet.....he says he loves it all! :)

As you can see, we have nothing to complain about this Christmas.....we were all very spoiled with gifts and with love! We are so lucky to have been able to spend time with so many people that we love. We're missing those of you that we weren't able to see this Christmas but we're hoping that you had a great Christmas too and that we get to see you soon!

And just to leave you with a smile.....this is what I get when I ask the boys for just 1 more picture on Christmas!! Geez boys, I only took 165 pictures in the past 2 days....that's pretty good for me! :)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight! :)
