Merry Christmas!! 2009

We had an amazing Christmas, I hope all of you did too! Pops & Nan came up last night to suprise the boys! They were already sleeping, so it was a huge suprise to the both of them! Caleb came out first and just ran to Nan Nan, and then to Pops. Penny went into the room right when Ay was waking up, and he said Penny! And then he said, "Pah!" and ran into the living room searching for his grandparents he loves so much. It was such a sweet reunion, and the most awesome Christmas present for them.

Here's a collage of pics from Christmas morning/afternoon! Click it to see a larger version. :)

First, Darryl read Luke 2, as we always do Christmas morning, before presents. Then Nan read the boys the Christmas story out of their Bible. It was so cute because they both had their "hot cuckoo coffee" (hot chocolate) with them as they were listening intently. They were both very excited to get to the presents! They made out like bandits. They got Buzz Lightyears, and Doodle Pro's, soundtracks of Disney shows and Toy Story, trains, games, and BIKES!! They were stoked about the bikes, and right when Daddy brought those out they dropped everything and started riding around the house. Ayden is still a bit small for his bike, so Pops pushed him around. It was so cute!! They had a blast doing that for awhile. The boys both got Darryl & I a few gifts and one of the ones to Darryl was a big styrofoam airplane. Well Caleb spent over an hour outside with that thing!

He loved it! And so did all the other "big kids"... :)

Then we took the kids for a bike ride..

And then had lunch! It was so yummy.

Ayden was so worn out from playing that he fell asleep on Pops at the dinner table!

So cute. Pops looks a little tired here too. Hahaha. After lunch, we hung out and played all day, did a fire,and then watched Alvin & the Chipmunks. Caleb loves the movie, butAyden isn't much of a tv watcher, he'd rather run around everywhere. :) Anyway, we all ended up falling asleep fairly early because it was such a busy but fun day!

The next day we slept in and then headed to Cracker Barrel! It was so yum, and felt great not to cook! :)

We then went to the Bass Pro shop in Jackson, my parents had never been so it was great to introduce them to that amazing store! My mom ended up leaving with a pink fishing pole. :) Awesomeness! Then we headed home and played a bit and put the boys down for nap so Pops and Nan could head home without the boys getting too upset. We had a great time with Pops and Nan and were so happy to finally get to spend Christmas with them!
