MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas morning is always such a special time.   We spent Christmas Eve at Uncle Tim's house.  The boys fell asleep in their jammies on the way home so we carried them in and we did their duty of leaving cookies and milk for Santa.  (We didn't want them to be missed!)   Early Christmas morning - about 5:30 - Luke came walking in to our room.  Shortly after, Eli came in.  Luke asked Eli to go check and see if Santa came first because "he was older".  So, Eli trasped into the dining room and came out screaming, "HE CAME, HE CAME!"  That was a kick-off to the day's fun ....
Eli checking to see what presents Santa brought.

Waiting patiently .... :)

Luke - so excited to start opening.
This big one is for me!  Eli was happy to see that!

 Whoa!  Santa brought a Skylanders Wii!
  Santa brought Luke an awesome Spiderman!
Santa brought Eli Thor!

Super excited by his new Cranky the Crane!
