Christmas continues

Seeing Christmas through the eyes of our special 2 and 5 year old boys makes the holidays the best.  Everything about the holidays is amazing to them.  The lights, the trees, the music, the parties.  They get excited about everything and it's such a blessing to share that excitement with them.

Christmas Eve started with baking cookies for Santa!

Christmas Eve at the Anderson's!  The boys waited patiently through dinner then got into their Christmas pj's and then couldn't wait any longer!

 "Are these all for me?!"

We tried to show Evan that he had to take turns opening gifts and to watch other people open them.

Tyler & Grandpa opening his puzzle!

"Here Tyler, let me help you."

Once the boys were asleep, it was time for Santa!!

I find this under the tree.  Best gift ever.

The boys woke up to find out they officially made Santa's Nice List!!

 Skylanders!!!

Tyler loved opening presents, didn't matter if it was his gift or not!

Such a fun morning :)

Santa surprised the boys with a BOUNCE HOUSE in the basement!!

Relaxin' after the intense gift opening

We headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Dan's for Christmas Day with the Ellis' and our cousins!

Baby Howie & Colin were just too cute!

So adorable!

Grammie & the boys on their first Christmas

The cousins did a "secret santa" gift exchange and Tyler loved the Lego's from Howie

Tyler & his new scooter.  We were lucky to have great weather Christmas Day and the boys played outside.

"No pictures Mom."

Selfie with my sweet niece & Mr. T!

A busy Christmas dinner!

Evan received his first tool box!  Now it's time to put him to work around the house!

Tyler has his eye on this one little Santa all day....he finally snagged it off the tree and carried it around all night.

Tear it open Tyler!

Great Grandma and Baby Howie

The cousins!

 Our Christmas celebrations ended with a visit from Nia & Guh.  We were so happy they spent some time with us on their visit home for the holidays. 

Craft time with Nia

Tyler loved his piggy bank and wanted to keep putting money in it all night.  Hope he is always smart with his money!

Story time

We celebrated the new year with our friend's the Wolak's.  The kiddos made it 'til midnight with us!

This picture of Evan is hilarious...he couldn't get his noisemaker to work, hahaha!

 Pajamas & noise makers!  And champagne for us adults! 

We had an amazing, happy, healthy and blessed 2015.  Here's to an even better 2016!  :)
