Christmas 2014 Memories

Hello Christmas 2014!

We are so glad you are here.  I love this time of year, filled with the excitement of the holidays.  I love seeing the boys so excited.  I remember just how I felt as a kid and it's wonderful to witness it through my kids.

Here are a few photos from the day.

The tree all ready for the boys to come down when they wake up.  

Cannon and Colson looking at the cookie plate and discussing what Santa ate, what the reindeer ate and what was left.  

 A quick picture before all the frenzy of opening gifts.  

Colson doesn't look happy here but I assure you he was happy all morning long.  He loved all of the gifts and would even say just that..."I love this!"  He would walk around and show everyone his gifts, which is what he was doing here.  Showing grandma and grandpa his new books.  

A bit blurry, but it shows some of the mess that occurs as presents get opened.  And we were pretty good at picking up this year!  

After a yummy brunch of breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls, we headed out to the property to show Grandma and Grandpa and Karin.  It was a beautiful day and it was fun to tromp around and check things out.   

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and the boys got to enjoy their new gifts.  Colson and Cannon both received some great building and Lego things.  And both boys got tablets.  Cannon is playing Colson's in this picture.  

We sat down for a great ham dinner and had a good time just hanging out at the table, taking our time and enjoying the dinner.  We were too full to eat dessert!  After the boys headed to bed, we sat down to watch a movie we rented from Redbox:  When the Game Stands Tall.  It was a good movie, based on a true story.

Perfect day.

Enjoying every moment.
