Christmas Eve Morning!

Santa has been kind enough to accommodate our Christmas schedule with Jack and Alex. Since they are with their mom on Christmas morning, Santa makes a special trip and comes to our house on Christmas Eve morning!

The night before, we let the kids open one present each...and I think these were pretty much the favorites...

Jake didn't really have a favorite, but this may have been one of my favorites!
Mitch was super excited to get a guitar, and Jack was helping him play it!
Alex got the new phone he had been wanting.

And Jack...well, Jack got a picture of a shoe! He wanted a pair of shoes that had to be special ordered from Nike, and he didn't pick them out in time for them to get here, so he got a picture of them!
Then Santa came...

And this is what Jack woke up to...Jake climbed in bed with him,

and Mitch played him a little "tune"!
Jake loved his new motorcycle (even though it was March before he actually got to ride it because it's been so cold)

Mitch went straight for the Radiator Spring GeoTrax. I think Jake took over shortly after this picture, though!

Alex and his new Bama hoodie

Jake opening his Hungry Hungry Hippos game. I think we kept up with the marbles for a couple of months, but they have mostly disappeared now.

Jack got some clothes and some Father Ryan "gear".

Oh...and they all four got Nerf guns. In hind sight, I think Santa should have brought Gary one, too!

Jake's favorite part was the chocolate, though...go figure! Ummm...do you see how close he is to my chair with those grimy hands?!
So...I moved him to the table!
Mitch and Alex both got skates
...and I got a new camcorder, so hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to post videos along with the pictures sometime soon!
Next up...Christmas at Mimi's!
