Merry Christmas!

Chirstmas was even more magical than I imagined.  I constantly hear people saying how it is better through a childs eyes and it is just so true.  After we put the kids to bed on Christmas Eve they must have stayed up for 30 min talking about the next day and what we were going to do and what they wanted from Santa and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus.  We have plans to separate the twins soon for bedtime and part of me knows it is time, but they have never spent a night apart and listening to them talk back and forth before falling asleep is so sweet!  
 This is what Santa left for our family!  We woke up on Christmas morning and came in the living room and could not believe it!  We must have all been very very good this year!
 Daddy got a boat, motor, battery, oar and life jackets!
 Our stockings were spilling over with toys, movies and treats!
 I got a gum ball machine!!!!
 Ellie and Graham got a new kid table with ghost chairs, cups, books, movies, gloves and hats with new friends to play with!
 The twinkies main gift was a dress up station!  They got a doctors coat, belle costume, sophia costume, police man, spider man, woody and buzz!  Along with lots of accessories!

 Bobo was really excited about his new belt.
 And he enjoyed Ryan's new Yeti coffee cup.
 My sweet little Woody.
 And beautiful Sophia.
 Ellie's Belle costume lights up!
Kids can not wait for a nice day so we can take the new boat out!  Of course we get a boat and then it rains non stop!!!
Another favorite toy was a microwave that has lots of buttons and makes real noises.  Ellie loves to wait and watch the food go round and round.
 The Spider Man costume is hilarious.

After opening all our presents at home we went to Ryan's parents house for drinks, brunch and more presents!
The twins main gift from Mimi and Pop was new sleeping bags which are already getting tons of use!!!!


 Ellie got a mini mouse dress up kit with some fake lip stick that she loves putting on.
 We gave Uncle Jared and Catherine a box full of accessories for their new grill and Graham got a laugh out of the large orange grill gloves.
 Every year Ryan's grandmother gives the boys matching clothing and they always get a pic of them wearing it.  Just one of those goofy family traditions.
Graham also got a talking transporting Mac truck which he laid on the floor playing with for so long that almost everyone ended up on the floor playing with him.  Such a sweet little boy.

It is nice to live close to some family so we could come home and relax and take naps in our own home.  After long naps we made a fun dinner and played in the basement the rest of the night!
This girl will not touch macaroni and cheese, but she loved crackers with blue cheese and honey on top.  Go figure!
 We let the kids sit at their new table to eat which they thought was so cool.
 Ignore our mostly empty basement....I swear it is going to take us forever to fill this house up with furniture!  We ate and then laid in our new sleeping bags and watched new movies!  It was the absolute best day!
 Merry Christmas and to all a good night!
