Merry Christmas

 The boys came down to find Chewy standing gaurd over their presents from Santa.  After signing Happy Birthday to Jesus the boys dug into their presents.

 Nonna and Nonno were there via Facetime and they were able to see Max's reaction when he opened his present.  It was pretty priceless.  He saw the Mario on the back and looked so sad.  We asked what Santa brought him and he told us a Mario game that would only work on the DS.  When we told him there was a DS in the box his eyes lit up in the sweetest way.  He was even more excited once Daddy got his DS up and running.

For two months this guy has been talking about the slippers he wanted from Santa.  Red slippers to be exact. He was so excited he just couldn't contain himself.  He wore his speical red slippers all day long. 
 I swear Sierra is the sweetest dog on the face of the earth.

 Jack had a rough morning.  He wasn't so sure about all the ruckus.  He jsut wanted to hold the phone so he could see his Nonna better.  

 I think he was just hungry.  After a yummy pancake breakfast he had lots of fun playing with one of his new toys.

I have been making the boys each a photo book for each year.  My goal is to finish all three boys books by Christmas.  I think two out of three isn't too bad.  Jack will have to hold out until his birthday for his.

 We hosted a little dinner tonight and I can't think of a better way we could have spent our Christmas night.  The cousins as well as Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mark came over.  Of course Nonna and Nonno came, along with Uncle Tim and a close family friend, Mary Ellen.  A small but perfect little dinner.

Graham was so stinkin' cute as Max opened his gift.  He had to tell Max to be extra careful because the game came with a real life laser.  The boys proceeded to chase each other around with the laser later.  

Will is super into pretend play. This Dr. Kit was right up his alley.  Two hours into possession and I think I may be taking the batteries out of the cell phone that came with it.  Another wonderful holiday with our family and friends.  We have more blessings that I could ever count and I do my very best not to take any of them for granted.
