We were invited over to a friend's house for Christmas Eve dinner. It was good food and always fun with kids. We played a game from the show Minute to Win It...put a cookie on your forehead and get it to your mouth only using facial movements...pretty funny! We also did a white elephant gift exchange...always a good time. On our way home, we drove around to look at Christmas lights, then got milk and cookies ready for Santa. The boys were really excited about Santa coming!
The boys woke up around 6 or so, and sat in bed with me watching a little of Muppet Christmas Carol while Barrett got the breakfast casserole ready. When it was in the oven, we went down to look at what Santa brought. Santa didn't think we needed any really big items this year...so we each got a few smaller gifts that were awesome. Then we looked in our stockings. Tommy was hilarous all day. He loved opening his gifts and putting them to use right away. He got animal crackers in his stocking and started chowing down...as well as his chocolate marshmallow Santa. Most of my pictures were of Tommy playing with the toy he just opened. It was really cute. Damon loved opening his presents, but wanted a big pile before he played with anything.
Barrett has a tradition of each person taking pictures with all their Christmas loot. Instead of rallying the troops for their photo op, we took a picture of all the opened presents...Damon hopped in for a pose.
Tommy put on his Daddy's new snow boots and was walking around...I don't know how he could lift those heavy things, but he did!
We enjoyed playing with all our new stuff and talking with family on the phone and skype. We went over to a friend's house for a turkey dinner and other delicious food. It was a fun time, but like always, we needed to have left sooner...2 crazy animal boys were rushed home and put straight to bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads:)
