Christmas {2011}

Christmas was so, so, so fun... and I think the boys liked it too :) Weston jumped out of bed, only curious to see if Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk. He was so excited to read the note Santa left him and we had to pry him away to look at what gifts Santa had left. 

The boys seemed to genuinely love everything Santa left. Weston's favorite thing were the chocolate Santa's in his stocking. Go figure. We'd ask him if he wanted to try one of his new toys and he'd say, "No, still eating chocolate." 




Holden's wagon was a big hit and we took ride after ride around the kitchen {while Weston ate his chocolate Santas, of course}

We ate our traditional baked french toast and fresh berries for breakfast and then headed to church. Church was really great and it's such a treat when Christmas falls on a Sunday. Not so sure I felt like that when I was a kid.... but I appreciate it now. After church we opened presents and it was so fun to see them love to play with each toy. Opening gifts lasted forever because Weston was so engaged with the toy he had just opened. Holden's favorite.... the boxes and any scrap of garbage laying around. 

Weston's completely obsessed with his garbage truck and backhoe loader. He slept with his garbage truck the first night which made for a bit of a tight squeeze. The thing is ginormous and he is in love. 


The aftermath. 


We had such a fun day... the boys seriously loved every second. We ate dinner with our good friends the Zalewski's that night and loved spending time with them. We missed our families like crazy and thought about them the entire day!!! We hope everyone had the best day!

Simon's favorite things on Christmas were the same as Holden's-boxes and scraps of wrapping paper. I guess it just goes with the age.
