Hoping that everyone had a very Merry Christmas. This was our first Christmas in Oklahoma in our new home, on our own and with a big boy who REALLY understood every part of Christmas for the first time and a little boy who was just plain excited. :) It was a great Christmas and we were so lucky to be able to Skype with our families so we could still see them and chat. Gotta love technology. :) Christmas Eve was a lot of fun, ran some errands in the morning, then went to Taco Bell as a family for lunch, then home for some fun family time including Jake and I making a Strawberry Birthday Cake for Jesus. It HAD to be strawberry for Jake. :) Then it was my families tradition of horderves for dinner, Skyping with my family, the Christmas story, each opening one present and then getting ready for Santa and going to bed.
Christmas Eve morning I woke up by a gentle tapping on my shoulder, I opened my eyes and saw Jake. He whispered "Mommy, is it Christmas Eve?" When I said yes it was he answered, "Happy Christmas Eve" which he then repeated all day long. :D
Getting our dinner all set up, so we introduced the boys to squeezy cheese...a big hit :)
Mommy and Jakey Bear
Mommy and AJ
The boys are getting goofy :)
"Mommy, why are you taking pictures? I want to eat!" - Jake
The boys opened their one gift each which was their favorite superhero holding a blanket. Jake got Spiderman...
...and AJ got Superman
Great loves for these buddies, they come with us on many car rides and sleep with the boys...who knew little buddies and blankets were so cool! :)
Every alien superhero needs a hug :)
"Wham!!!"
AJ is not a blanket boy, can never get him to snuggle with one outside of bed...but he loves this one. :)
Jake was super excited for Santa to come, and he insisted that Santa wanted chocolate milk with his cookie. :) And of course the reindeer got some reindeer food that he had brought home from school.
These boys were SUPER excited to wake up and see what Santa brought them the next day. It was fun bringing them the magic of Christmas! :D
