Brett, Logan, and Craig...note to self...always do pictures before presents! ;o)
Brett opening one of his Cars cars from us...our theme this year was "real." For Brett, we wished him a "Real Fast" holiday.
For Craig, we wished him a "Real Tough" (Lego Hero Factory) holiday.
Logan with his new Rock'em Sock'em Robots! Loved this!
And for Karen, it was "Real Simple"!
I was blessed with a plethora of kitchen goodies...salad dressing container, ceramic bowls, homemade vanilla and dip!
Logan enjoying a delicious smoothie!
Santa waffles!
After pictures, presents, and brunch, you'll never believe what happened. We got a call from SANTA!!!! I'm so bummed this picture turned out blurry, but you can still see the look of amazement on Logan's face! It was awesome!
It turned out that Santa was calling to say that he was flying over head and had something to drop off for us. So, the boys ran outside to look and sure enough, there was a cold package in the driveway. Tucked away inside were two keys. These weren't just any keys, either. They were magic keys that Santa needed to get into our chimney free house. The look on Craig and Logan's face was priceless.
It was Karen's turn to host our annual Christmas extravaganza, and host it she did! We decided to do a morning extravaganza this year and it worked out wonderfully. First on the agenda was to try and get three squirrelly boys to sit still in front of the Christmas tree. Ah, bribe them with present opening if they're good! Check. Next, was said present opening. Karen and I always "try" to do some sort of a theme with our gifts. Some years it works out, others it just doesn't quite come together. This was a not quite together year, but that didn't slow us down! We still exchanged gifts and everyone was very blessed. Next up, brunch. Complete with strawberry smoothies and Santa themed waffles and bacon! Delicious!!! Then was gave the boys a chance to play...unbeknownst to us, that Santa had a surprise of his own. Just as the boys were playing in the living room, Karen's phone rang and it was none other than Santa! What a special surprise that was! It was the perfect way to kick off our Christmas vacation! Thanks Karen!
