Christmas Day

Christmas Day was filled with family, good food, presents, playing & lots of laughing. All the boys slept in until 6:45am (late in our house). After getting mommy & daddy to get up we all walked down the stairs & listened as Johnnie exclaimed "Santa came." All the presents were opened with exclamations of "It's music, it's books, it's spiderman jackets" & so on. But one favorite of the day for Johnnie & Joey was the $1 stocking stuffer given to Jimmy...the slinky. Hours were spent watching it go down the stairs as they chased it. It was okay with Jimmy though because he was busy playing with his new music chimes & his favorite gift of the day the mini version of mama's vacuum. For the 1st day in weeks it wasn't raining so the boys spent part of the day enjoying their outdoor gifts. Santa brought all of the boys bikes this year but Joey wanted no part of leaving his indoor toys to try his out but the other boys loved playing with theirs. Kayci's boyfriend Christian gave the boys a gift that brought a lot of joy & a lot of laughter. The Gigaball. It's a 5' inflatable ball that you can push around or get inside & roll around in, which is how our boys preferred to play. Daddy chose to wear the ball & I even took a turn or should I say I was pushed into trying it. All our friends & families were too generous this year & there are way too many photos to post but I leave you with this last photo of the aftermath of gift opening in our homes. Thank you to everyone. Merry Christmas. We love you!
