Christmas 2013

Christmas Day was a lot of fun and came with a Christmas miracle...our early bird boys slept until 7:30am...it was great!!! :)  But as soon as they got up Jake asked if Santa had come.  :)  We went out and saw that of course he had and the stockings were about to burst and their Santa bags had been filled.  :)  They were pretty excited.  :D

Could not wait to see what Santa had stuffed in their stockings

AJ liked the dump it all out method while Jake looked at every item one by one.

A look of Christmas wonder :)

AJ was excited to find two figures (Peso and Shellington) for his new Octonauts toy set)

Buzz on a Rope :)

"Hello, this is AJ"

AJ quickly went for some candy...can you tell?

Jake was so excited to find that he got the one thing he asked Santa for, a Donny Ninja Turtle toy

AJ got a Thor mask and hammer...

I think the superhero is pretty happy with Santa's gift

AJ was our elf this year that helped Daddy hand out the presents

Jake opening his Transformer, this was a toy an old buddy of his had that he played with every time he went over there.  So he was pretty excited to get one of his very own.

When a toy gets a hug you know its love :)

Jake bought his brother a toy Mike

The boys got little remote control cars this year and were super excited.  AJ got a toy Chuggington...

...and Jake got a toy Tokyo Mater (love that they both flipped over second hand toys)  :)

AJ got a puzzle of his very own.

AJ and his new pirate ship!

Mickey Mouse!!!!

The boys got super cool Spiderman toothbrushes and a big bath set from their Great Aunt Jan and Great Uncle Ken

Jake got a cheering snowman from his GG

AJ got a snowman armed with soft snowball from his GG....look out!!!!

Spiderman and Alvin stuffed animal balls from their Great Aunt Kathy

This year Jake got to going shopping for family at school.  For mommy he picked out a snowman hand towel...

and Daddy got new gloves (for his brother he got a small toy car...of course)  :)

A big hug from Daddy.   We were spoiled this year.  :D

We were very blessed to spend Christmas afternoon and evening with our dear friend's the Starr's.  So nice to have friends that had moved away from Rosamond years ago be close to us once again.  We joined them for a yummy dinner of Fried Turkey and all the trimmings, and of course a Birthday cake for Jesus.  :D  The kids all had fun playing with new toys and us adults had fun catching up and telling stories.  It was a great Christmas and we are so thankful that they invited us to spend Christmas with them.

These were from after Christmas shopping but I had to include them...they were too cute.  Jake is already for the game

..and so is AJ!

 

We had a wonderful magical Christmas and we are so thankful for good friends that fill in for wonderful family.  Hoping that everyone had a wonderful day celebrating Christ's birth and enjoying their family and friends!
