Christmas Day 2009






On Christmas morning, the boys tried to get up at 4:30 AM to see what Santa had brought. Mommy decided that was WAY too early and sent them back to bed...they then ended up sleeping until 7:00, which was a little more like it! The boys were VERY excited to see all that Santa had left for them, plus some gifts from Mommy and Daddy, too! Landon loved his Little People airport the best out of all his presents, and Logan's favorite was his "real" guitar, hands down! He could have cared less about his other gifts after seeing that guitar! Because of the snowstorm that has been hanging around our area for the past couple of days, we stayed home for Christmas Day this year, just the 4 of us. It was kind of nice to let the boys open their presents and then actually have time to play with them instead of rushing off to the next Christmas. The day was very relaxing, and I enjoyed hanging out around the house. However, I had to cook Christmas dinner since we didn't go anywhere...I can't remember if I've ever cooked a Christmas dinner by myself before...I'm thinking NOT! I enjoyed it. Of course, I didn't have to cook a lot for just us, so it wasn't too bad! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and now 2010 is just around the corner!

Christmas Eve 2009





Christmas Eve was an exciting time for Logan and Landon...they were just a little too excited, out of control, and lucky that Santa really came! Luckily, the snowstorm didn't stop my parents from coming over for supper and watching the boys open their first gifts of Christmas; however, it did stop us from our tradition of going to Jeff's parents in Cherokee. I let the boys each open one present and my parents brought a present for each of them to open as well. After supper, some present opening, reading The Night Before Christmas, and some Christmas tv shows, the boys set out milk and cookies for Santa, as well as carrots - one for each reindeer! It took them a long time to settle down and actually fall asleep, but they fell asleep just in the nick of time before Santa arrived with more gifts than they really needed!
