The Christmas Post is Finally Here!

It's only a few weeks after Christmas...I'm not too terribly late in posting a blog about it! We had a great Christmas and it's all still a bit of a blur. We go to my mom's house on Christmas Eve for lunch and presents with the entire extended family. It's pretty much mass chaos. :-) But the kids love it. Ethan had a great time with his cousins. It makes me a little sad that he is getting so big when he spends the whole day running with the other kids and I don't have to have my eyes on him the entire time. The weather was nice so the kids played outside most of the day. Caleb had fun in Santa Land and eating his way through the day. There are way too many pictures but, hey, it was Christmas!

Family photo op #1 in front of the Christmas tree. One out of two kids looking isn't too shabby.

Checking out his Handy Manny toolbox.

Christmas morning at Nana and Papa's.

Caleb sporting his new robe. He kept it on for hours!

Ok, so this isn't technically from Christmas morning but it was the only time he put on his robe that Santa brought him.

"Uh, could someone put some coffee in this sippy cup???" Check out his bed-head. So cute.

Ethan LOVES his Leapster. He looked like such a big kid playing it on Christmas morning. Now it lives in the car to keep him occupied.

Chowing down on "Christmas morning breakfast". We all look forward to it every year. Thanks for cooking it Mom and Dad!

He couldn't even look up for a picture. He was too busy shoveling it in.

Ethan and Hailey enjoying their Christmas breakfast. Notice what Ethan is eating? Yep, cheesy ghetti.

Caleb loves this little zoo toy. I'll hear him turning it off and on in his room.

One of Caleb's presents from Santa.

Ethan and Hailey plaing with their laptops.

Thanks for the bike Santa! I was suprised he wore all of the protective gear. He said "I have to wear this so I won't get hurt if I fall." And yes, he was riding his bike in his pajamas....hey, it was Christmas!

His a picture of Santa Land. You can see why the kids love it. It's full of those little stuffed animal noise makers. You can't see it but there is a train that runs on a track hanging from the ceiling. Next up...Valentine Land!

Family photo with Aunt Lou. Again, both kids not looking. Actually, in Caleb's defense I think Caleb was looking at another camera.

Caleb playing in Santa Land.

Ethan helping Papa crack nuts in his Kung Fu Panda pj's. He would wear those every night if he could.

Roasting marshmellows in the fireplace. Everytime there is a fire going he needs to roast a marshmellow.

Yep, Christmas in Texas. Caleb is swinging outside in his pj's and doesn't even need a coat.
