Merry Christmas

I am so sad that Christmas is over and now we have to wait
another 11 months to start over.
I really am like a little kid this time of year....
and this year did not disappoint.

The boys were so much fun...
especially Dakota who is just like his mom, loving every aspect of the season.
He was so cute to help me set everything out for Santa, and he could not have been more excited to wake up Christmas morning and see that Santa had come.
Bridger started out excited, but once he had a few Tractors and Dump Trucks,
he was ready to play and be done with the nonsense of opening presents.

When all the presents were opened I was surprised and the lack of fighting that occurred about going to church
(we did have to let them take a quick spin on their scooters in their church clothes).
I really liked the fact that going to church helped us stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas.... It is so hard with all of the buisiness to keep it in focus.

It really was a wonderful day,

Dakota thought of the idea to make the cookie plate look like a smiley face.
the little cheerios with chocolate chips were cookies for the elves.






Thanks to help from Chantell, I found these super cute Santa Bags,
Which were more for me than the boys, who I don't think even noticed....
but I loved them.





The boys got these light savers in there stockings, which have lead to many injuries since.






Everytime that Dakota saw Santa this year, he asked for more Trash Packs. I told him that he would probably just get a few in his stocking, but at the last minute I decided to get a whole bunch and put them in a big box.

After Dakota went through his stocking he didn't say anything, but as the presents ran out he started to get nervous and asked if I thought Santa forgot.

Some how it worked out that the Trash Packs were the last present he opened and he of course was so excited!!!!



Scott got me these UGG boots with built in socks and I absolutely loved them!!!



Even the Dogs got presents, which kept them quiet and busy all day long!




Merry Christmas.... onto a new year!!!!
