Christmas Eve!

The boys have been waiting and waiting and waiting! And, Christmas IS FINALLY HERE!!! They got up early and went with Daddy to Nevada to pick up great-grandma Mabel! And, after many hours in the car, they arrived home full of excitement!

Mommy fixed a big lunch and Daddy's side of the family all came over to eat and open presents! The boys could hardly contain themselves, and were so excited that they couldn't even sit still at the table long enough to eat! And, after everyone was finished eating, we quickly moved on the much anticipated part of the day....PRESENTS!!!

Waiting...not so patiently!














Chase is just a little bit excited here!

















Cole tearing into a present!

















He loves his Pillow Pet!


















Chase helping PaPa open his present!














Cole helping Aunt Robyn with her bracelet.

















Chase took this present to Great-Grandma and said, "Here Grandma, let me help you with this one because you're old." Ah....out of the mouth of babes!














After Nana, Papa, Robyn, and Great-Grandma went home, we cleaned up the aftermath, the boys got into their pajamas, and we started to talk about the biggest event which was still yet to come.... SANTA!!!!

Cole wanted to set out the cookies and milk. And, then he disappeared for a little bit. Soon, he appeared with a sign he had made for Santa which he wanted to hang on the fireplace...just above the cookies and milk. And, then he made another trip through the house gathering the rest of the items Santa would need...a Christmas card (which Santa took back to the North Pole!) and a pretty bow to top everything off! Cole really worked hard making sure everything "just right" for Santa!
