Merry Christmas!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year! We had a great year this year! It was so much fun since the boys are at such great ages.

Fred & I had to work on Christmas Eve, {the fun of working in retail} but got out in time to get the boys at my parents house & all go to church together.

We had just enough time before church to take a few pictures.



Here are our little GQ models, workin it for the camera!














Such little nuts!
After church we went to Fred's mom's so the kids could open some gifts. When we were leaving her house Fred happened to look up into the sky & notice "SANTA & Rudolf" {an airplane}! Ethan was so extremely excited!! He kept yelling "hi Santa!!! , Dont forget me!" He was totally frantic thinking we wouldnt get home in time & Santa wouldnt stop at our house! It was so cute, & to think at some point in all of our lives we all Believed w/ all of our hearts!
When we got home we hurried to get Santa's milk & cookies & carrots for the reindeer. Ethan has never been in such a rush to go to bed!




Collin really wanted to try Santa's chocolate milk!





Santa has left the building!!




Ethan woke up early Christmas morning ready to go open gifts. Collin on the other hand didnt wanna get up! {he takes after his mommy!}




Ethan was in complete awe! Collin immediately went to the drawing easel just like I knew he would!



Because they fight over everything, Santa made sure to bring 2 of almost everything! Ethan for months had been saying he wanted a "crane truck", so he was very excited to open one & then to see his brother got one too!



Here they are sitting nicely at their new table opening their stockings.



Here is Ethan being a Christmas elf delivering daddy his gifts.



Check out my Monster truck bathrobe!





"Look mommy Santa ate all of his cookies & drank all of the chocolate milk! And he left us a letter!"




Someone's being naughty! Trying to sneak upstairs.



After opening gifts & having brunch we got ready for our family to come over for the day.

Here is my sister helping them open gifts from her & her fiance & Grammy & Grampy.



Wow the boat & submarine I wanted!





Look. . I got my own tools!





We had a great day! My parents got us a Wii & everyone spent the night playing! Didnt realize how competitive everyone is! Ethan was a little "cheerleader" he was jumping around shouting "go Daddy, go Daddy" "go Mommy, go Mommy" for everyone when it was their turn! He even picked up the dog's chew ropes & used them as pompoms!! It was so funny!
Hope everyone has a safe, healthy & happy New Year!!

What an awesome Christmas! I know I say it all the time now, but I just can't get over "big boy" Collin! Ethan cheesing it up for the camera is just too much! Isn't the Wii fun? If you have wireless, we can "friend" each other on the Wii and play games like Mario Kart together! BTW, Trace loves Mario Kart and Toy Story Mania.

So adorable! Looks like you guys had a fun Christmas. It is too cute that Ethan was afraid Santa would miss your house if he didn't hurry home.

What a great Christmas. Love Ethan "hamming" it up in front of the camera. Nate is good at that too! Love the first expressions on their faces when the noticed Santa came. Priceless!!
