christmas recap

things have finally slowed down enough that i can sit and blog our christmas! and i must say it was one of our best ever. something about having to excited, anxious, little boys makes christmas so magical and fun!

on christmas eve we went and enjoyed a delicious dinner at my grandpa freidenberger & shirley's home. this has been a tradition for as long as i can remember and so we look forward to it! thanks for the yummy food and great hospitality grandpa and shirley!

then, we went over to my parents house for some eggnog, cookies, and a few quick games. and the boys were able to open their present from grandma and grandpa manwaring. NEW PJ's! i have been excited about these for MONTHS. these boys needed new warm jammies and that is just what they got. thanks mom and dad!


this is the best picture i could get of them in their pj's christmas eve! don't they look cozy?!

also, once we got home we let the boys open a present from grandma and grandpa ward and then one from kevin. they played with these toys for awhile and then it was off to bed...and they went without a peep!

kevin and i prepared the house for santa's arrival and then went off to bed ourselves. kevin even let me put a sheet up like we did growing up. this ensures that the kiddies don't take off and enjoy christmas without us...and i love the anticipation that comes with being stuck behind a sheet until your parents say you can take it down. and, as our boys get older, i am sure they will come up with sneaky ways to sneak a peek before we wake up...unless i can convince kevin to sleep by the sheet like my dad use to do! (;


our tree with gifts under it...finally. with two little boys we didn't pull any presents out until christmas eve.


"the sheet"

and...santa did not disappoint!



santa gave owen geotrax and wesley a black & decker tool bench.
