Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas at home this year!
Though we missed seeing family, it was so nice to stay home and have a low key Christmas with just our family and start more of our own family traditions.
Christmas eve found everyone receiving their typical new PJs from Mom and Dad and then the boys got to open their presents from each other.
They were a little excited in case you can't tell:
Then we sprinkled the lawn with reindeer food and set out cookies for Santa. Said good-bye to Little Diesel, read the story of Christ's birth and set out the stockings before heading off to bed.
Brian did manage some cool pictures and video of our tree before bed:
Christmas morning the boys were so cute. Logan was so excited to see what Santa brought and Clark was more low key and willing to take his time with notes from Little Diesel and seeing what his brother and sister got from Santa before diving into his.
Here are a bunch of videos from first thing that morning:

Cute miss Aubrie was super happy for her first Christmas:
She loved her presents from Santa as well:

And loves cruising in her new ride....thanks Nana and Papa!
At our house, we take present opening as slow as we want. We tend to open some, play lots and then come back to open more. It normally take all day, which it did this year and we actually had a few left for the next day as well...so the fun just kept going!
Here are a bunch of pictures from our many present opening stages:









Thanks Uncle B, Nana & Papa, Grandma & Grandpa and Aunt Amee and everyone else who sent present! Our kids were totally spoiled and loved every present they received.
We had a wonderful few days and we hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and spending time with family as much as we did this year!
