Christmas Day

This year, we had a nice, relaxing Christmas here at our house.  The boys woke up just after 7:00, and they lined up and headed out to the tree when they heard the Christmas music begin to play.

The gifts lined up on the couch – and the sandbox from Santa.

The boys had fun just playing with the toys in their stockings for awhile and looking at their gifts from Santa.  Their biggest gift, the sandbox, they couldn’t really play with, but they sure were entertained by the small gifts in their stockings.

In their stockings, Landon and Davis each got a book light.  While Shane and I were getting breakfast ready, we realized that the boys weren’t around, and we found like this, in their bedroom with the lights out, reading with their new lights.

After checking out our Santa gifts, we ate our breakfast of croissants and hot chocolate, and then read our cards to each other.  Kelly joined us for breakfast, and he brought over his presents to open with us.

After breakfast, we opened our presents.  The boys had fun opening their gifts, and James enjoyed the wrapping paper.  We also got to webcam with Shane’s parents while we opened their gifts and visit with them for awhile.  It was nice to see them and visit with them over the computer even though we couldn’t be with them for Christmas.

Landon and Davis trying out their new towels I made for them (James got an orange one, but he was asleep by this point), and Davis opening his Mater’s Tall Tales DVD, which he wants to watch multiple time a day (maybe not the best gift after all)

A few fun shots of James after he woke up

The rest of the day, we enjoyed relaxing, playing with our new games and toys, and reading.  It was a great Christmas!
