We had a great Christmas weekend at our house! We enjoyed the company of my mom, Josh and his and Liz's dog, Parker, and my dad. We missed Liz, as she went to her family in Colorado and we missed Lee's family as they were all together in Ohio.
This has been the most fun Christmas yet! Tyler was really excited for Santa and Rudolf to visit our house. We have read a Christmas book every night for the past month. He now knows everything and every character ever having anything to do with Christmas. Brady only knows Santa and Frosty. He loves this Frosty the Snowman stuffed character that my mom got for them and he knows Santa because he has a 'Santa Rocks' T-shirt and when he wears it he always points to Santa. Both of them were, of course, extremely excited to open the presents that were under the tree and to see the presents that Santa was going to bring.
We celebrated with my mom and Josh on Christmas eve and then my dad and Josh on Christmas day, leaving us with Christmas morning and Christmas night to celebrate as just our family of four.
After church on Christmas Eve we were able to get a decent family picture in front of the tree. The boys both have new presents in hand and not a smile from Brady, but we think this is a great picture!
One of many, new presents for Tyler. A remote control powered backhoe loader.
One of many, new presents for Brady. A new Vtech helicopter that he can walk in front of and pull around the house.
A Leapster for Tyler. He calls this his DS. A 4 year old (almost 5) at daycare, wanted a DS for Christmas, so that's all he had been hearing about the month of December. He thinks he's big stuff since he now has his DS (Leapster).
Daddy and Tyler on Christmas Eve.
Brady loves guns or anything that is shaped as a gun. These are two new tools that they got for Christmas. Brady walks around with them like they are guns and he's shooting things.
Santa brought a gift for Tyler to Grandma Mary's house. She delivered it to him. He was excited to see that Santa brought him a Buzz Lightyear! However, when he found out that he wasn't going to fly out his window, he was a little disappointed. He now has that behind him and is enjoying his new Buzz Lightyear. He also got the movies Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3!
After opening all these new presents, they play in this box!
In the box. Brady loves this stethoscope! He has it on at all times!
Uncle Josh, Tyler, Grandma Mary, and Brady.
Brady liked it when Josh blew on his stomach because of his beard.
I had to get Lee an Iowa snuggie. For the past month he has wanted to buy anyone and everyone a snuggie, so I bought him one as a little joke. It turns out, he really likes it and wears it while on the couch watching TV! :)
Tyler putting cookies and milk under the tree for Santa.
Mom and Brady on Christmas morning.
Tyler opened up a huge dinosaur!
Brady got some silly books.
Christmas morning. Lee (behind the camera), Darcey, Tyler, and Brady.
I love this book and couldn't pass it up! It's called, This Little Prayer of Mine. I think it gives kids a different perspective and understanding on why we pray every night. We have read it every night since! Tyler loves it!
Christmas day with Grandpa Freese. Tyler did get his Remote Control Train for his train set from Santa Christmas morning. It has not had a break! We've already had to change the batteries out!
Brady eating a chocolate star cookie. He really only eats the chocolate star and then leaves the rest for me!
Brady LOVES to wear any spare slippers that are around the house.
Tyler with his train tracks and remote control.
Now in the laying down position, but still moving that train around the tracks! Brady is just watching his big brother play and taking the chance to play with Tyler's other toys, like the big dinosaur!
Shh! Don't tell Tyler that I'm playing with his Dinosaur! WHAT A GREAT CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
