Christmas Day 2012

We had a wonderful day.  We actually had to wake up the boys around 7:30.  I could not believe they both slept that late!  Brody has never done that.  He obviously was worn out from all the festivities leading up to Christmas.

Mason walked in and said, "Oh my goodness!"  It's his phrase of the week.

Brody taking it all in.

Look at that hair!!!  Loves his new Cars bike.

 You can't say this kid doesn't look happy.

Showing Brody his new toys.  He is obviously very excited about it.

Stocking time.

We always go to my parents once we are done opening gifts in our pjs.  After we open the millions of presents there, we go back home to get ready for Christmas lunch.

Pops helped Brody open his gifts this Christmas.

Someone is teething I think.

This kid didn't need help.  He has become a pro.

 Best. Day. Ever. says Mason.

Happy he got a new weed eater...someone stole our new one this year.  Gotta love thieves.

First Christmas.

And then it happened...it was time to open our stockings at my parents house.  My mom always puts scratch and wins in there.  We always win a few dollars but nothing more.  John won $500.  No lie.  I told him my mom meant to put that one in my stocking.

We went home and after admiring our new Keurig machine, got ready for lunch and headed back to my parents.

We had even more gifts to open.  I thought I was prepared for quite a few gifts and organized our closets/clothes and some toys.  Im definitely going to have to do some more on the toy issue.  Either that or they are going to run us out of our home...

Best husband and dad in the world.

These sweet boys had a great day.  Mason got everything Angry Birds, car and racetracks, games, clothes, and a spiderman suit.  He had a wonderful day, but it made my heart melt when he continued to say it was Jesus' birthday.  Im so thankful he knows this and prays he will never forget the true meaning of Christmas.

Every day I hear more stories of children sick or tragic accidents, and it makes me realize how blessed we are to have two perfect, healthy boys.

 Mason better watch out.  Looks like Brody is catching up on him in weight...
