We did Christmas a little different this year. We decided we didn't want to travel for Christmas Day. We invited anyone who wanted to, to come to our house. Todd's Parents and Sister came. We had a gourmet meal made by Todd, went to church followed by Christmas lights on Christmas Eve. The boys and I put out cookies and Milk for Santa and played with the train around the tree for a little while before going to bed. It was so nice to wake up to presents under our tree. The boys let us sleep in until 8:00 am. (I think that may be the last time that happens) Jaiden came into our bed at 6:30 but went back to sleep with a little bit of milk. Ryan came into our room at 8 am and Announced, "lets go see Presents!" They were very excited about what Santa had brought them. Although Ryan said, "where is my truck?" This is what Ryan had asked Santa for and it had been wrapped. We will have to write a note to Santa for next year to leave the presents unwrapped under the tree. Jaiden got his gift from santa too, a new ball. He played catch all morning with the whole family. Christmas day we just played and ate. It was very relaxing.
The boys looked so handsome in their Christmas outfit given to them by Great Grandma Dorothy. They didn't really want to pose for pictures. But they still look very handsome. They Absolutely love wearing their, "ties".
Ryan was very excited to be able to hold his own candle at the Christmas eve service. The chair in front of us almost caught on fire a couple times but survived.
Putting out carrots and cookies for Santa and the reindeer.
They had a fun time putting these out and Ryan was speechless in the morning to see everything half eaten.
Jaiden was quite excited to see the Speed Racer cars and he wore that helmet all day, especially when he played catch with his new ball.
"Roarrrr!" Said Jaiden's new dinosaur.
