Christmas

Christmas! Before bed on Christmas Eve Dad read to the boys How the Grinch Stole Christmas

And I closed with their favorite and mine: Santa Mouse

I wonder what Avery is "Oing" about

But Carson's face takes the cake.

Excited about having just put out cookies and milk for Santa

This year Santa got chocolate milk. I think the boys were trying to butter him up for some extra awesome presents.

First look in the morning!

Avery working out who this gift is for

It's for Emmett, but he was willing to share.

But then Dad collected Avery and Carson's chairs so they could each have their own space.

One of the gifts for Emmett was a pair of fleece Lightning McQueen jammies which he instantly wanted on.

After I took off the cardboard he happily yanked the pants on right over what he was already wearing!

But he needed some help with the top.

Carson just sat hugging one of his gifts he was so happy.

Love watching the excited faces!

Avery is literally jumping for joy here as he shouts "AWESOME!" over his set of science books.

But a favorite amongst them all was the Mater the Greater set. This has seen a lot of play. Notice Avery has added a monster truck for Mater to jump over.

Then it was time to go to Travis' parent's for Christmas.

Julie had an adorable Santa outfit. She likes to climb so the gate has to be put up.

Of course that means Emmett got frustrated when he got stuck on the other side and forgot how to get to the front stairs to get back down. Actually, we thought he forgot, but then when they tried to show him the front stairs he balked at them, so maybe he didn't forget, he just doesn't like them because they're round so the steps are narrow on one side and feel more exposed with an open banister on one side.

Time for presents!
Family,Christmas

Emmett found a seat for himself.

I tend to capture some great faces of Angela a lot.

Happy Carson for Avery

Avery also got a guitar which Carson wasn't so happy about - he wanted one too!

Happy Carson for himself

Happy Emmett. Love the tongue.

Hope you had a great Christmas day too!

What a fun Christmas! I love the one of Emmett putting his feet into the jammies.

Avery's O'ing is about the part that says 'the kind that makes an angel want to sing'. I love the 3 all sitting in a row in their chairs and Avery jumping for joy.
