Then it was into the living room to see what damage had been done. The boys of course were so excited to see the pile of presents. They're so funny. We went in youngest to oldest opening order and had a blast. Everyone was thrilled when it was all said and done! Tyler LOVED his Nerf machine gun and Rip stick. Matt LOVED his "Age of Empires" game, Heely's and Rip Stick. Isaac was very disappointed with every gift he opened UNTIL he opened his Wii game. THEN he loved EVERYTHING! Silly boy. Lucas was SO excited to open his "Cup Pong". He even hugged it. LOL. He also really liked his race track and Ahsoka toy. Nick just liked opening things. Eventually he realized that he could play with the things that he was opening hehehehehe. He loved his "bingo" track. Yeah for some reason he still thinks that a car is a "bingo". He also LOVED his playdoh toys. Mike got a new leather brief case and something so he could make a custom router table (yes I bought it but I still have no idea what it is). He also got a bunch of clothes and socks. Lucky guy Santa was so good to him :) I however got the best present. Mike got my Blog books. I have been wanting them for a while now, but didn't want to spend the money on them. Yes I cried. I'm not a crier, but this one made me cry. We started our Blog when Nick was born and in the NICU, and those pictures and stories about did me in. I got other stuff too (new phones, cute clothes, a cute CTR ring stuff like that) but the books were everything I could have hoped for.
After presents we had yummy sweet rolls for breakfast and then just.........enjoyed the day! I took a nap, the boys played, Mike read. Nick was running a fever but thankfully Ibuprofen is a miracle drug! He was happy most of the time anyway.
This is the gorgeous ornament that Mike made for my Mom for Christmas......isn't he awesome?
I love Christmas and I love spending time with my wonderful kids and hubby. I love the traditions that we've established. I don't have a lot of traditions left from my childhood or with my siblings, but thankfully I have a hubby and kids that LOVE traditions!
