Christmas 2008

Well, I finally have the time to sit down and post some Christmas pictures. Sorry it has taken so long, I know that you guys have been asking me about them. So here they are.
We all have another wonderful Christmas. I must admit, we actually tried to reduce what we bought the boys since they get SO much from everybody, but it's a lot easier said than done. We started our holiday with our traditional Christmas Eve at Mom & Dad's.

The boys just didn't want to wait any longer to open presents!
Riley in Tyler's new paintball gear.
Hayden and Skyler fighting over Riley's drum set. They fight over everything.
Brandy is coming in to solve the situation.
Then we made is home about midnight to get ready for our family traditions on Christmas morning. The milk and cookies that they boys left for Santa.
Looks like Santa was really hungry.
It appears that these two little boys were very good this year, wouldn't you say so!

They were so excited....It was so funny because Riley looked at Craig and said..."Dad, he really did come, didn't he!" He told us that for days, I guess he may have been worried that he was on the naughty list...hehe!

He was so excited over all his stockin' stuffers!

He finally got his "green notebook"
Hayden was working on Riley's truck with his new Handy Mandy tools!
After the boys opened all their presents from us, then Craig and I opened our presents. Once again I was spoiled, I got a new Wii, Northface jacket and two new pairs of Nike's, along with several gifts. Craig then prepared us a wonderfully yummy breakfast. The boys were so excited about their new riding toys, they just couldn't wait to get outside to ride them. So we got dressed and let them ride. They rode until the batteries died. While we waited on Mom to finish the massive feast she was preparing, we tested out the Wii. So after we stuffed ourselves, we went home and was lazy the rest of the day.

Friday morning we got up and headed to Virginia for our Christmas with the Hurley's. The boy did really well for most of the trip. We made it home just in time for Christmas dinner. Once we finished eating we opened presents. The boys were in such a hurry to open presents, I didn't get a chance to get the camera out.


We all enjoyed our weekend of relaxation. We headed back home Sunday night.


The boys got soooo many presents, that everyday is like Christmas all over again. They will find a toy still unopened and get all excited.
I must admit this has been the best Christmas yet. Both boys enjoyed it so much. They are actually at a perfect age, last year Hayden was just really overwhelmed with everything, but this year he actually understood Santa and all the presents. I know that it will get better every year.
