Christmas Day is Here Again!!

Ever since we had Austin, Neal and I started a tradition of having Christmas morning at our house, so we could do the whole Santa thing, before heading down to my parent's.

Waking up early is no problem in our household, since our children don't get the concept that life can begin after 7am... so at about 6:30 Christmas morning, the fun began!!

Jake and the Neverland Pirate sword! Swish! Swish!!

New toothbrush! He wanted to go brush his teeth immediately after pulling this from his stocking

"What did you get, Austin?"... "Umm... I dunno. A package." haha! It was a wooden train whistle, he didn't know what it was at first.

We've come to discover he's the type of kid that has to get every last little piece of wrapping paper and tape off a package.

Heeeyyyyy... it's early... ugh.

Jake toys! 

We unwrapped a baby! OMG!! Haha.

It crinkles. It wrinkles. It's AWESOME!!!!

Down to Springfield and first stop... Great Gramma Darlene's house!!

More goodies to tear into

My Grandma always offers to keep Owen. I keep telling her to go for it.. because I'd love to get some sleep... but somehow he keeps coming home with us.. strange.. 

Festive baby!!

Austin got to "play Santa" and hand out gifts!

Owen's new crinkle book. He was ALL ABOUT IT!

He claimed he was hot and took off his shirt. I think he just wanted to show off his finely chiseled toddler body. 

Happy baby doing what he does best.. being cute!

Shirtless fishing... how very Springfield. Ha. 

Last stop.. Gramma and Grampa's!!

Owen had a hey-day with his new chew toys!

Making Gramma all festive with antlers and a bow!

New Play-Doh! I think they design that stuff on purpose to dry out within a few months so you always have to buy new. 

In Austin's words.. "A BIG MONSTER TWRUCK!!!!"

Cool!!!! Cars and a race track!!!

Back over to Gramma Darlene's for dinner.. and a pooped out little boy snuggled Uncle Brian

It was a very Merry Christmas for our family.... Santa was good to all of us!
