Christmas 2009--Part 1


Christmas for us started a little early. Grammy, Uncle Blake and Aunt Jo came to visit about a week before Christmas. We had a lot of fun with them, shopping, making yummy treats and playing games. James loved making sugar cookies, but then again, I think we all enjoyed that.
Before Grammy left we got to open some presents from them. Michael didn't really get it, but he loved his toy that he got.
James didn't really get it either. He thought this was just a fun thing to jump off. I had to unwrap it a little to show him there was something inside.
Then he was really excited about his basketball hoop.

Our plan was to drive to Colorado on Christmas Eve, but when Doug got home from work on Wednesday we decided to drive halfway that night. That ended up being a really great idea because we got to Colorado early on Christmas Eve instead of late. The boys got their PJ's from Mom and Dad, and we had no problems getting them to bed that night. Waking up the next morning was another story. We ended up just waking James up.Santa brought James a Power Wheels Jeep. He doesn't really like it, and wont get in it. Instead he played with a little toy motorcycle Santa put in his stocking. I guess you never know with kids!



The only picture I took of the boys opening their presents was this one of James opening a tool set that his Uncle Scott gave him. He had a lot of fun, but didn't even open all his presents Christmas morning, neither did Michael.

After we opened presents we went to Doug's grandparents for Christmas breakfast. It was a lot of fun, and the boys got a present each from their Great Grandparents. James loved the little Remote Control Doc car he got. After breakfast we went back to Doug's parents and James and Michael opened a few more presents. That night we went to Doug's Aunt and Uncle's house for dinner. Over all it was a very enjoyable Christmas. And we didn't even open all of Michael and James' Christmas presents!
