Christmas Day!

I have a post for Christmas Eve with Grandma and Frank but Aunt Rachel has all those pictures so until then.. I will keep posting! :)
When we got home on Christmas Eve from Frank's we put the boys straight to bed and behold... Santa came!  We left out cookies and milk and then Daddy and I got busy setting things up.
 Cole's stash
 Grant's

 This might have been the most magical Christmas for me.  There's nothing sweeter than seeing the excitement through your children's eyes.  Grant came down the steps and with the biggest grin on his face yelled "Santa figured it out" and ran right to his stuff! Cole screamed "Woody and Bullseye.. YAY"... and off they went!

 Once Cole figured out he had a Chocolate Santa, that was it for him... he tore that dude up!
 Grant had a hard time trying to explain to santa what an Octopod was from the show "Octonauts".  Bless him, he was a very old Santa, I dont think he knew what anything was! Oh well.. more on that later.



 Every Christmas I make a HUGE breakfast and the past two years my Mom and Toby have stopped by on their way to Pulaski to see my Grandparents! Its so much fun and the kids hold them hostage showing them everything they got.


 Cant have Christmas without tattoos!


 Christmas night we go to my Dad's and we had tons of yummy appetizers and lots of playing.
 I dont know why but I think this is funny, doesnt every kid climb in Daddy's lap with a pc of ham? Later Franklin looked down and Cole had put it on his leg! hahaha



 The kids got Seat Pets, now maybe their heads wont dangle in the car when they sleep, thanks for the idea, Em!
 This hat is hilarious and totally fits Cole's personality.. when you squeeze the purple ball on the end, the monsters hands stand straight up!





 And what Christmas would be complete without a marshmallow war?  THANK YOU PAPA! ahem!  I wasnt a fan of these, maybe its because I got NAILED in the eye with a marshmallow by my husband and then by my brother in the head.  These are for the kids, NOT adults!

It was a lovely Christmas and lots of awesome memories made.

Those marshmallow guns...Mom got one for Colin and I was finding hard dried marshmallow all over the playroom for weeks! And if you did shoot a "fresh" one at someone, Molly would eat it so you couldn't ever reload it. LOL

Great pictures and looks like the boys had a good Christmas!!
