Christmas Day

After church on Christmas morning, we went over to Gacky and Poogie's house to celebrate Christmas with them, Jeanine, Harper, Darbye, and Shug. We visited, ate a delicious lunch, and then opened presents. The boys got some really fun things, including a karaoke machine from Jeanine, Harper, and Darbye. I can't wait to hear all of the concerts that Brody and Colby will put on.












Brody and Colby's favorite present was new pajamas! They wanted to put them on immediately!









We left my mom and dad's house and went straight to Jeremy and Tammy's house to have dinner and open more presents with them and Poppy. Our boys get a little spoiled during Christmas!









Jason got the boys these mini racers. It was hilarious watching the kids ride around the basement. These little cars go pretty fast and are a lot of fun!!











This was such a fun Christmas, and everything about it seemed perfect! We are truly blessed beyond belief!

Christmas Morning

We woke up to find that Santa had come!!!





The boys were both so excited to get downstairs and see what Santa had brought. I never get tired of seeing these looks on their faces...pure joy and excitement!!!







The first thing Colby spotted under the tree were his little Ice Age toys...





He then noticed his new movies...



He was very excited to see he got a new iPod...





Brody was excited to find some movies under the tree for him as well...


This cool helmet was under the tree for Brody. We couldn't figure out what it was for at first, but then Jason noticed a big present covered with a sheet by the front door.

Brody pulled the sheet off and found this...




Colby had a big box under the tree with his name on it. When he opened it, he found Kung Fu Panda 2 movie along with a note from Santa. Santa had arranged for us to spend the night at Opryland Hotel for the Dreamworks Experience and meet Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and Madagascar characters!! Very exciting!!






Watching Kung Fu Panda 2 on his new DVD player...





Brody could not wait to try out his 4-wheeler, so at 8:30 on Christmas morning, we were all outside in our pajamas! I'm pretty sure this is Brody's favorite gift from Santa!!!



Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at our house having dinner and opening presents with Nenny and Pa, Nana, Jeremy and Tammy, and Emilee and Kylee. We had a great time visiting, and the kids were very excited about their new toys!


















Trying out the new air hockey table that Nenny and Pa got for them...








When everyone left, the boys quickly put on their "Christmas Pajamas" and went to work getting ready for Santa. They picked out special cookies for him and Truzz (our elf on the shelf), poured a glass of milk, and put out some carrots for the reindeer. Then, we ended our night with Jason reading "The Night Before Christmas." I love Christmas traditions!!!
