Christmas Morning

 Christmas Morning was super fun again this year.  Once again, Brent and I were able to get showered and dressed before the boys woke up.  Every year I think we won't be able to do that again, but it keeps working out!  Brent told the boys they were to stay in their rooms until we came to get them, and so when we heard Jonathan was awake, we woke the others up too.  We stopped for a couple of excited pictures on the stairs before we headed in to the living room.

 Then off they went!

Jonathan was doing his victory dance while hollering, "Oh yeah baby!  Wow!  Cool!  Awesome!"

 When we went to Lenox to see Santa and the Pink Pig, Brent took Andrew and Coleman into Macy's to let them pick out some gifts for me.  Andrew chose a red bracelet.

 Coleman chose one that is sparkly and a great neutral!

 And Jonathan gave me some very sparkly fancy earrings!

Brent got some new tongs for the grill,

some new shoes,

and a big surprise. . .

a Shop Vac!

We ate breakfast and then opened our stockings.  Santa brought some fun surprises along with our traditional favorites, including Granny Smith Apples all around!

Brent was very excited Santa heard his many hints and brought him Bear Claws for pulling pork.

We got the boys dressed and then headed off to spend the day at Gigi and Papack's.
