Christmas Morning

To say the least there is lots of pictures. I hope you enjoy.

We had a great Christmas this year. The boys, Russ, and I loved being together; we also enjoyed spending time with Russ' family and his brothers who finally came home for Christmas. We spent the early morning at our house and did our own little Christmas.

Evan LOVED the bubbles that Santa left in his Stocking. The candy was also a big hit. He was running on sugar for a long time, but he was excited to have "lots" of candy that Mom let him eat.

Wyatt was less impressed with the candy, but loved the rice puffs Santa left.

Before the unwrapping commensed I wanted to get a picture of the boys in front of the tree, however they'd only been up for about 30 seconds or so and were cold, still trying to figure out what was going on, and tired of the flash. I think they look so cute.

Uncle Jason bought Evan a digital camera, he loves it! It was a huge hit. The memory card holds about 500 pictures.. by about noon he had take over 200 pics and needed a new set of batteries. It is so fun to see what he decides to capture on film.

Wyatt with his rolling monkey ball. He likes to push the ball to get the monkey to sing.

This was a big deal! For any of you who know me, I am a little less than crafty. But for Christmas every year we make something special for each other. This was what I made for Russ. I was super enthused because it was my first one. All by myself! I think it turned out awesome, and so did he.

Wyatt loved the wrappings and bows more than the actual presents. He did open for awhle but after that he mostly just wanted to chew on the ribbon.

Santa brought Wyatt this toy. Evan was super excited. Wyatt likes it now a lot too, and it is fun to watch them play with it together.

Wyatt's beaming smile. I love it!

Both of the boys got some "warm gear" for the winter weather we are having. Wyatt smiled for the picture but really doesn't like to wear his hat.

On Christmas we got a lot of snow, which was great for Evan to use his new stuff in. He just wanted to make sure that I got his bubbles in the picture. He was a little upset because I told him to put his bubbles down instead of letting him cover his face with them for the picture.

The boys had lots of fun with there toys. Wyatt wanted to put everything in his mouth. Evan loved to show him how stuff worked.

Evan loves to play in his ball pit. Wyatt likes it too. There is a hole in the top of the tree where you are supposed to throw the balls in or out. Evan got a pretend fishing pole also that day and he likes to fish inside that hole instead.

We loved being together as a family. Evan was so much fun this year, and is starting to learn who Santa is. One of my favorite things was teaching Evan and Wyatt the nativity story. I think by the end it was starting to sink in but when you would ask Evan about Christmas he would say that is was Jesus Christ's birthday, and I loved that. His little testimony is starting to grow, The Spirit of our Saviour is the true meaning of Christmas and I was glad we were able to partake of that Spirit together.
