Christmas Morning

At about 7:30 am Caden came into our room and asked if Santa had come and if he was still here.  We told him to go look downstairs and see if he had come but that he wouldn't still be here since he had so many other kids houses to go to also.  He dashed downstairs and then ran back up and told us he had been here and there are lots of presents downstairs.  We debated waiting for Brecken to wake up or waking him up.  After about 5 min we decided we couldn't wait anymore so we went and woke him up.  

We went downstairs and looked at stocking for a few minutes and then sent the boys in to wake up Nana & Grandpa.  Here is the video of the boys checking it all out first thing:

Sadly, these are a little out of order.  I'm having a little trouble with the browser I am using.  Here is Brecken playing with Caden's Handy Manny Tool Kit.  The boys actually were really good about sharing their new toys with eachother:

I think Nana & Grandpa had fun watching and documenting Christmas morning.  It was sure fun for us having them at our house!

Daddy finally got his quilt he's heard me talking about for the last month.  It fits nicely on our bed and I was able to get 20 old t-shirts out of our closet!

The boys played with their toys for a good hour and then Caden looked up and asked to play Rock Band, so daddy got it out and set it up.  Caden had known Rock Band was up in our closet for the previous two months and had asked every single day to play it.  He was pretty excited to actually get to play it here.  Grandpa really got into the drumming!

Branson rocking out!  He now plays everything on expert level:

Brecken wasn't quite sure what this was but Caden showed him it's for a Dr. and how to use each of the tools.

Caden loved his Handy Manny toolset even though he had forgotten he had asked for it:

Caden opening a big present:

We had such a nice morning.  We spent a few hours playing with all the new toys.  Then we had our traditional Christmas morning breakfast: blueberry pancakes, sausages, and eggs fried in the sausage grease.  Definitely a low fat meal, yum!

I loved just playing around the house all day not having to get dressed or set foot outside the front door.  We had Christmas dinner at about 3pm.  We had ham, potatoes, rolls (the first time I succesfully made them all by myself), green bean casserole, corn and of course eggnog to drink.  Overall it was a very nice Christmas!
