Christmas at Grandma's House

Christmas morning the boys slept in until 8:30 (of course they would pick that morning to sleep in!!) and ended up being the last ones down stairs!  
The boys were super excited when they got down there and saw the big pile of presents that Santa had left!  We showed them their stockings and they were thrilled with the juice and fruit snacks that had been left for them!  Paxton told everyone who would listen, "I never had this kind before!"
In our family we have a tradition of opening presents one at a time in order from youngest to oldest so Tegan (and therefore Paxton) got to go first!  Luckily they had a few more presents than everyone else or I think they would have been begging to open their aunts and uncles presents!
Paxton got quite a few awesome presents!



 And Tegan was equally as spoiled!!
Look at that face...new baseball binkies...best present ever!


 The boys helped each other open our big presents from my Mom and Dad which included:
A toolbench and tools for Paxton
A racetrack for Tegan
A home safe for Andy 
and a carpet cleaner for me!!

 It is the best to have little kids in the house at Christmas because they get so excited about every little thing but this year the adults were getting pretty excited about their Christmas presents as well!

Just like last year...the boys had just about as much fun playing in the wrapping paper as they did opening the presents!


Can you spot them in that mess?

After all the presents were opened, breakfast was made, and they were dressed in their adorable matching outfits it was time to break out all of the toys!
My Dad gave my Mom a "garden cart" for Christmas...we joke that it is really a handcart for their trek across the plains.  Unfortunately when they went to put it together it was missing a part...the main axle.  The boys thought it was pretty fun to play in just how it was!
 
The other big hit of Christmas was their new racetrack...they played with that thing for hours that day and even got Grandpa in on the action!

Tegan thought his best present was his new binkie...he just didn't want to get rid of his old one!
Since Christmas we have had tons of car races, played 45 games of candyland, eaten 2 boxes (and counting) of fruit snacks and a 6 pack of blue juice, worn cute new clothes, read new books, watched new movies, are still working on putting together Paxton's tool bench and gotten rid of basketball binkie and loved every minute of it!
