Christmas

What a difference a year makes.  Last Christmas was WAY different than this Christmas.  Its been a crazy 2011 but I'm looking forward to a less drama filled and uneventful 2012.

Merry Christmas (a little late) everyone!!

Brian's mom came down UP for Christmas and they boys got a little spoiled.  How cute are they though...seriously!





Opening presents was a bit of a whirlwind and the boys just went to town!



I BELIEVE Drew's exact words were "its what I always wanted!!"













Then Christmas Eve we got the boys back around 8pm so we had to put out cookies for Santa and Carrots for the reindeer.

 

Christmas Morning (notice the CRAZY hair)







Then we got them ready for church before we gave them their presents from Brian and myself.



They were excited!  They have their names on the front (yes, I put them there)



They could hardly wait to ride them so we took them to pella with us.





This is what the living room looked like after Santa gifts.......



Christmas in Pella







We tried to get a picture of the boys with Bentley (my brother and his wife's dog) and this was my favorite one.



Parker LOVED bentley and did everything he did.  (ie. if Bentley licked his paws...parker licked his hands....)





The boys even played follow the leader with Bentley.










I didn't take many pictures of opening presents....I did TAKE pictures of them riding their 4 wheelers.

 

I think they like them....what do you think?

 

 

More presents after nap.  (we used opening presents as incentives) :)

Kyle and Sasha got them a tent.  They Slept in it at night...took them FOREVER to fall asleep.



These pillow mattress' my mom made and she got the idea off of pinterest.  The boys LOVE them.







Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
