Christmas Day

Oh, I do love Christmas...so so much!

Our boys are not real early risers. They came in our room close to 8:00am and luckily they all woke up around the same time.

Santa brought the boys a Wii!! I think they were pretty excited about it. Rylan also got an alarm clock and Asher got some dinosaur stamps. Tyce got a little owl pull toy.

Early AM chocolate teeth and he's still cute!

After checking out toys and stockings from Santa we got busy opening gifts. Tyce was hardest this year because he has plenty of toys and things from his older brothers. We didn't force him to open his gifts and he definitely took his time. He'd open one and play with it for awhile, walk around the house, eat some crackers and candy, walk around some more, and then if he happened to see an unopened gift he'd sit down and carefully open it. It seriously took him a couple hours to open all three of his gifts :)

I think Ry's favorite was his legos, but he's hard to read. Asher was excited about every single thing. It was the year of shoes for Kev...3 new pairs of shoes for him!! I got a Blendtec and couldn't be more excited!!

We spent most of the morning playing the Wii. I still wasn't feeling 100% but soooo much better so our plans for Christmas dinner with my family were still on. Yea!! I made a green salad to take with us and my mom helped me make my green beans once we got there. Our Christmas dinner was absolutely delicious! My family sure can make some super yummy food :)

The rest of the evening/night we played at the Holman's and we all had a good time. We played games and talked and opened gifts from my parents. It was a perfect day. We were there late, in the middle of the bean game when suddenly Tyce barfed on me. Oh no! I think the poor little guy just ate too much and since it was so late his little body was done. We ended the game, packed up, and headed home. I'm pretty sure all three boys zonked out before we even pulled out of the driveway.

I love my little family, I love my big family, I love my life and I love my Savior. It's a beautiful time of year to celebrate His birth and being surrounded by family is my favorite way to celebrate.

I love that look on his face!

This boy, I sure do love him :)
