Christmas Joys & Lotsa Toys!!

It always amazes me at Christmas time how busy I get with parties, shopping, service projects, and fun family adventures. December has been filled with all of the above, and more.
Christmas morning dawned with an extremely ornery 5 year old, a overly happy 2 year old, and a 9 month old who had no desire to participate in our festivities.
Nonetheless, we concured present opening without too much drama. Tanner only cared about the gifts with his name on them, as it should be. Gavin only cared about what everyone else was getting and refused to open his own gifts, and Zach just wanted to eat and go back to bed. It was joyous I tell ya, joyous! :)

Here is the proof that Santa arrived and gave my children everything they asked for..except Nana. That was the cause of the ornery 5 year old..Santa did not bring him Nana for Christmas :(
WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!
Right after Santa left:
Gavin ready for the adventure...Tanner ready for a nap:

Gavin was very happy to get his kitchen:

Ornery!!

A tad bit happier when he finally came out of his room:

Shocked that Santa remembered his black Spiderman costume:


Zach was so tired. He really couldn't have cared less about his presents..lol:

Gavin got a new Blue in his stocking:

Tanner and the Ramen Noodles that were in the toe of his stocking..lol..he loves that stuff!!

Zach eating his book:


This kid has been asking for a snuggie since the commercials started. He was thrilled!


As I said before, Gavin just wanted to play with everyone else's loot. This is Tanner's new belt and Gav just walked around the house pulling the belt behind him..lol:
I was very happy to get the purse I picked out (and wrapped) and my Paula Deen roasting pan (I picked that out also):


Gavin finally got interested in opening his gifts:


One happy dude:


Gavin and Daddy:


Dad and his stash of stuff..well at least a few things:

Spiderman has now moved into our house:

I could be a little upset that the yearly Christmas photo isn't perfect, but this fits their personalities so well! Gavin never stops smiling, Zach is just trying to get through life, and Tanner cannot be bothered with anything nice..lol..you gotta love them!



And to make this day even better..my friend Soon Nyoung had her baby Christmas morning! So exciting! He is adorable and looks just like his 2 big sisters :)

Your family is beautiful! I love the boys' jammies, so cute! I'm with you on the picking out and wrapping your own gift. Seth grabbed one from under the tree and said, "hmmm, from Seth to Erin, What'd I get you?" Haha, love it!
