Merry Christmas 2009!! (Continued 1)

...Once we were done we headed to my parents house where we were staying the night. Once there we put Christmas pajamas on, set out cookies and milk for Santa, and put the kids to bed (proved to be a hard task because Aaron and Dylan were too excited to sleep so they stayed up until midnight).

To no surprise Dylan was first awake Christmas morning. He was very excited to see that he got a "pretend shoot gun" from Santa. I must say I have never been a fan of pretend or real guns however Dylan loves his Papa and Papa enjoys big game hunting. Dylan is beginning to show an interest in that as well. Anyhow, he loved his gift and couldn't wait for the other boys plus Rebecca to wake up to see their gifts.

We had to wake up Ryan, also not a surprise (he loves to sleep in). Ryan received a Hot Wheels Trick Tracks set from Santa!! Ryan loves cars especially Hot Wheels at the moment. Actually a couple weeks ago he told me that he wants to be a race car driver when he grows up.

Rebecca was woke by all the commotion going on in the living room. She received her first baby doll from Santa. Now who really knows if she likes it because it is too big for her to really play with at this time. She did really enjoy her little Christmas baby that Santa left in her stocking.

Now that everyone was awake we were able to begin opening gifts. The kids got lots of wonderful gifts from all of our family!! We'd like to take a minute to thank everyone that bought a gift for them this Christmas!! This year has been extremely trying on us so Christmas would not have been possible without the gifts from family!!
