Then the boys wanted to dance with Daddy/Uncle Adam
Mommy and Auntie Julie were up until 1 am listening to music...just one more song!
Daddy and Uncle Dan fell asleep while watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Cousin Kaela left notes for them on their chests: "You owe me $5-$6 for rubbing your feet" LOL!
On Sunday, we had brunch with Grandma Collene and Jim and Babs.
The kiddos had a great time playing with everyone and of course opening presents!
Merry Christmas to All of Our Friends and Family!!!
The kiddos let us sleep in until 7:30!!!! That is even better than Christmas Eve!!! Must have been the walk at Labrador Unique Area and all of that almost 70 degree fresh air :)
Addie still makes the greatest "surprised" sounds when opening her gifts :)
The kiddos LOVE Cheetos and Santa made sure there were plenty of Cheetos to go around!
Mommy even had Cheetos with her morning coffee...yum!
Ayson asked Santa for a Robot, an experiment lab, and a safe...look at that face!
A gift that Ayson (and the After School Program) made for Mommy and Daddy...made us both cry!
Mommy wanted a new pair of cowboy boots for Christmas but she had to get a new car. Yes, SO sad. The transmission on her 2005 Subaru died so now Mommy has a "new to her" 2014 Subaru with BRAND NEW snow tires...now we just need snow).
SO Mommy "made due" with these fabulous shoes that were ON SALE for a steal (Zulily)
Addie showing off one of her new necklaces and her pocket puppies (Thanks Ms Linda for the gifts!)
Daddy sporting the "all inclusive (but beer not included)" cooking apron that Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger gave him. thank you!
Mommy even got an apron!
Grandpa Roger also gave Ayson a Whoopee Cushion...thanks Grandpa....

Playtime outside...it was "only" in the mid 50s on Christmas day :)
Both kiddos LOVED their sleeping bags...and so did Mason :) Mommy remembers getting a sleeping bad for a gift at Christmas and it was the "best gift ever"
Mommy has SO many pictures to share that she figured she better split them up into a few posts!
Happy Holiday to all of our family and friends! We hope that everyone is happy and healthy!
The kids were on their BEST behavior this week and said their goodbyes to Elvin, the "Elf on the Shelf" Thursday night :)
Santa made a visit on the fire truck Monday night. The kiddos were so excited!
