Christmas Pictures

Thomas decorating Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve.
Cute little hands.
This is what Gideon did while Thomas and I decorated.
Well they aren't exactly hung but I cannot bring myself to make nail holes in our beautiful mantle. The stocking hangers were WAY too expensive. Even at 7.00 a piece at Walmart it would have cost a little over 35.00 just for those. No thanks!! We had no decorating budget this year. Our tree was free from our woods and the ornaments were made by me and the boys for less that 10.00.
It's Christmas Eve! YYYEEAAHHH!!! We get to open one present.

Hanging out with Daddy on Christmas Eve.
Look at all the presents. Mine weren't under yet because Michael had to wrap them. :)
Wow!
Thanks Thomas!!!!

Gideon with the ball Thomas bought for him.

Thomas loved the present Judah got him.
Thank-you so much brother.
Gid always looks so frustrated when he's opening presents but he's having a good time.
Michael is NOT having a good time taking all the toys out of the "protective" things they wrap them in nowdays. The environmentalists are wasting their time on other things...what they SHOULD be doing is going after all the toy companies and their endless waste of plastics, screws, wires, and paper that they place the toys in, all so they don't loose money to the shoplifters. Maybe if the toy was 50.00 I could understand, but we had to remove screws from a THREE DOLLAR trucks. (3 times over) AAUUGGHHH!!!
Awwww. What a cute picture!

Here Daddy. I bought this for you.
Thanks Judah!!
Thomas showing off his new dinosaur shirt. Thanks Nana and Papa! They all got identical ones.
More Christmas hugs.
Judah's present to me. Are these things not FREAKY?! You have to stick your foot in their mouths to wear them. I don't know about you but it really was weird the first few times. I was taught NOT to place parts of my body in dog's mouths.

Christmas kisses. I could CHOKE my husband. He said that I looked good. AAUUGGHH
More packaging....
Thanks babe!!
WE GOT CHARLOTTE'S WEB!!! THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU!!!!!!!
Michael and his loot.

Judah "using" his saw Thomas bought him.
Gid playing with a toy Judah bought him.
Judah's reaction when I told him that he and Thomas had to go on a Treasure/Scavenger hunt for another present.
Looking for the next clue.

Let's go upstairs!! Hurry!

The final clue told them to stand still.
Anxiously awaiting the reveal.
Pure contentment.
Getting ready to ride.
SO Excited! I they were so surprised they couldn't even speak. They have been saving their money for them but by the time they would have saved enough they would have been too big for them. So we did a group gift this year.

THANKS to Card Grandma, Nana and Papa, Great Gram, Great Aunt Nita, Uncle Ted and Aunt Cindy, and Mommy and Daddy. Little got a special car just for him but he has to use his feet. :)
Daddy is explaining the rules.
Such a CUTE little guy!!!
Carefully learning to drive.
This is great.

Oops. Near collision.
Riding with brother.
He got stuck but he got himself out like a champ.
Just look at that happy face!!!!
and that happy face!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
