Christmas Day

I think our years of sleeping in on Christmas day may be at an end.  I'm hoping for one more year, but we'll see.  Normally Tony and I wake up early and are waiting for the boys to get up.  Not this year, we slept great except for the fact that Joey was up a couple times during the night.  We let him sleep in our room, on the floor, and he was OUT!  Charlie woke up just before 8AM and we had to practically beg Joey to wake up.  It took some coaxing and then he was up and full of energy.

waiting for Joey to fully wake up so we can go downstairs and open presents

Charlie said he didn't hear Santa this year, but he just knew he had come.  Well, Charlie was right!  Santa did come this year!  The boys ran down the stairs and were shocked to see Santa had set up new toys!

Santa sure knows how to pick out exciting presents!  The boys love to be "worker guys" so new tools and a tool bench are perfect for the playroom.

Charlie had been concerned that Santa would have a hard time getting in our house since we don't have a fireplace.  Luckily Christmas magic worked its' wonder and he was able to get inside and fill our stockings!

The boys each got a new sleeping bag for Christmas!  Perfect for our trips down to see Grandma & Papa/cousins in Cedar City.  We're also hoping for some camping trips this summer.  The bags were a hit!  Tony teased Charlie and asked if he could sleep in his bag too.  Charlie said, "no, you use your old  man bag."  I guess sleeping bags are "old man bags" if they don't have cool themes like Spiderman and Cars haha :)

The boys each got a lego/duplo set and have had lots of fun building cool things.  Luckily we got a new car/train rug for the playroom.  It's great for our trains & cars, but Santa new we needed a rug to help keep all the little lego pieces (somewhat) contained and out of the carpet.

After opening presents it was time to play with new toys and have breakfast!  The older Charlie gets the more fun his toys are.  All of us were in the front room building stuff out of the legos.

Later in the day my parents and siblings came over for dinner.  It was fun to have them here so the boys could show them their new presents!  

We hung out, ate and watched some new movies.  It was really fun having them here.  I can't believe Christmas has come & gone!

Merry Christmas!
