Christmas Day 2010

...yep, Santa was here!

Christmas was wonderful this year! Believe it or not Gregg and I were actually the first ones up. We have Cammie to thank for that. Most mornings she wakes up around 6am for a bottle and upon finishing it goes promptly back to sleep. Christmas morning was no exception. After that Gregg and I lay in bed waiting to hear two little boys looking for signs of Santa, but we never heard a thing. By 7am we were ready to get up, kids or no kids. Carter came wandering out about a half an hour later. Who knows how long Kyle would have slept (of course the day we want him to get up). Gregg finally decided to go get him so that we could open some gifts. The boys did so good. They are both so easy, they aren't picky and love anything they get. They both like to make sure they know who the gift is from before they open it so that we can tell them thank you later. They weren't wild and crazy but they were excited which was fun. Cammie slept through the whole thing. It was actually nice not to have to keep an eye on her, keep all the wrapping paper scraps off the floor, etc., and instead be able to focus on the boys. We let the boys open her stuff too, so when she woke up she had a nice little pile of toys ready to play with. The rest of the day was relaxing. We sat around, snuggled, and played with the kids and all of their new stuff all day. Perfect!

Carter got an Mp3 player from Auntie Allie.

He didn't turn it off for 3 days! He's such a ham!

All of my Boys playing with the new Lego's.

The boys love the Playdough they got, and so does Mom.

They stay busy for hours!

As this holiday season comes to an end and another year begins I feel very blessed. I have a wonderful husband who works hard to provide for our family so that I can stay home with our babies. We have three beautiful, healthy, awesome kids that we adore. We have a wonderful extended family, and great friends. We hope that the New Year bring good health and happiness to all of you!
