Christmas Craziness Part 13

Well here we are, Christmas morning... Since we had spent the night at my mom's that's were we start! HAHA!
Here's the pile of goodies, before...
Truck (well anything) from the movie "Cars", always a hit in this house!

Of course this year, "Bey Blades"...

Spike's stack of goodies, after...

Aw, how precious! (Notice his "jammies"? Yep, he FORGOT his special Christmas ones. It was very hard for mommy, but life goes on, right?)

And yes, we have a CLOWN! This kid is very rarely serious, well except when it's time to eat. He doesn't like to eat a whole lot! He's pretty serious when it comes to NOT wanting something! HAHA!

Bedtime Conversation

I put the boys to bed tonight and they said what they say EVERY NIGHT. "Mommy, come and check on us when you go to bed!" To which I replied, "Of course, and it won't be long cause mommy's tired." Then I got the "How long?" "Why?" "What do you have to do?" "How many minutes?" blah, blah, blah... Finally Slick says, "well, when you come up, I want to go in your bed. You're the coolest girl I ever sleep with!"
HAHA! I love it! Too funny!

Christmas Craziness Part 12

Back at my mom's it's FINALLY present time, for some anyway! My sister and her family got their gifts from my parents and the cousins exchanged gifts. Each one picked a name. Here are some of the gifts.
Slick with his MONSTER TRUCK! Which by the way, in case you were wondering, he LOVES!
Spike, got this cool t-shirt. I can't keep it clean!

And do you think the girls like their big gift from gramma! YUM! So no the gifts are open, they waste NO time trying them out.

The gift of the year for the boys this year was "Bey Blades!" I'm still not sure about them, but they LOVE them!

Such a good cousin she is...teaching the "baby" how to use it. She's so patient! Must by why they love her so much!

Can't call it a night till we ATTEMPT a "grandkids picture!" So here's the best we got this time!

And then ever begged-for, "funny face one!"

Christmas Craziness Part 11

So here we are Christmas Eve!
This year for us Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were a little different, ok, ALOT different. But it was still great!
One thing that stayed the same was we went to my aunt and uncle's house to watch for Santa to ride through town on the fire truck. (This is something I've been doing since I was about 5! Just couldn't go with out it!)
So, here we are out in the cold waiting.
Got to take a picture to pass some time!
LOVE this one!

AW! I LOVE the innocence in this one!

And here he is! "Hi Santa!"

And what did he bring this year?...

YUMMY Swedish Fish! (The bummer is, both my kids rode in my sister's truck, so they were GONE by the time we got back to my mom's, where I thought I'd be able to bum some off of them! Doesn't that just stink?)
