Christmas At Our House

We got the boys up to open their Christmas gifts that Santa Claus brought. First, we showed Landon the empty plate of cookies. There was only one half eaten cookie left. So Landon grabbed it off of the plate and started eating what was left of the cookie.
Ethan found Daisy's gifts.
Landon opens his first present. He pauses, though, to finish the cookie.
Dan and Lisa came and joined in on all of the fun.
Ethan opens his first Christmas present.
He liked the bows and ribbons best of all.
My very own toys?
Landon was pretty excited about this Thomas the Train book he opened.

Ethan got a cute jacket.
Opening gifts was a lengthy process because Landon had to make sure each piece of paper was thrown in the trash before he ripped off another piece of paper. It was a good thing though because Ethan had less things to grab and stick in his mouth.


Lisa's turn to open a gift.
And now it's Dan's turn.
Kendall opened up a box with some EMT pants in them. They were pants he already had, but I hemmed them up for him. A cheesy gift, but I just learned how to sew on my new sewing machine he got me for my birthday. He said he was impressed so that's all that matters.
Next, he got some new boots to wear with his EMT uniform.
I got some awesome slippers/shoes with soft fur looking material inside. They are so warm! Since I can just slip them on, I decided to finally put my flip flops away.

Landon carefully opens another present.
The wrapped box was full of cars, cars, and MORE cars!
Ethan observed everything going on.
This gift is a little more difficult to rip open.
AMAZING! Thomas pajamas!

Ethan plays with a new talking book.
Aunt Lisa shows him how to push the buttons.
A bus!

Another exciting gift for me. This one was probably my awesome Cricut Cartridge.
One last big gift for Landon.
Ethan couldn't fight the hunger pains any longer. He ended up eating at his high chair in the living room while the rest of us finished up the gift opening. He played with with some bows. His favorite!

Merry Christmas!

Santa Came!

Cookies for Santa

Landon helped bake cookies to set out for Santa Claus. He had so much fun.

Can't forget to lick the beaters.

Yummy cookie dough.

It's time to set the cookies out for Santa.

All Tuckered Out
