The boys got a hockey table from Uncle Kyle and Aunt Sasha.  It wouldn't fit under the tree so they had to find it in my parents second house shed.

We got the boys back Christmas Eve around 8 so we could have them Christmas Morning.  We let them open ONE present under the tree.



Christmas morning they were a little excited and I couldn't get them to sit still for a picture.

Parker got the purple minion he asked Santa for

Then we had breakfast.  I made them Santa Pancakes, which they thought were pretty neat.



and Brian made his yummy yummy made from scratch cinnamon rolls. 
 They are as good as they look.


After breakfast we let them open their presents from us.  Needless to say they did not eat much.

These boys are very blessed and are not lacking in the least bit. 
Although don't ask them, they will tell you different.
