The tree and presents post-Santa

Isaac's new bike from Nana and Papa.

Light sabers!!

Even after Beckam finished off what was left of Santa's partially eaten cookies, dad still had to open his last few presents for him. Luckily Isaac had a little more stamina and was able to help open the presents for the baby when he was finished with his own.

We got lots and lots of fun presents!

Isaac and Beckam painted pictures for Sam to hang in his totally bare office at work. They were so proud, and dad loved them.

This year we even got a trampoline. We were all pretty excited. Just one of the perks of finally having our own backyard.

We had a really nice Christmas. After opening all our presents we went over to our friends the Bushman's for a little Christmas brunch. It was fun and really yummy. We played a lot with our new toys, especially the trampoline. Then that night we had a really yummy dinner, roast, mash potatoes and gravy, and rolls (plain and orange).

We missed you all in Utah and hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve 2008

This Christmas Eve we spent over at our friends, the Walker's. They invited us as well as the Taggarts, and the Robinson's. It was really fun. We had a yummy dinner and had fun hanging out. The boys thought it was great. The Walker boys Jace and Kai have 7 light sabers, could it get any better? This really helped make our first Christmas away from home a special one.

Alyssa did such a nice job. The tables looked so cute. I didn't get a picture of the adult table, but look at the kids table.

After we went home the boys were able to open their Christmas PJ's from Pp and Poppy. Isaac opened it and immediately said, "oh just what I wanted". On Christmas he told me these were his new favorite clothes and he wanted to wear them all the time, but that he would take them off to get them washed as needed.

Getting the cookies and milk ready for Santa and the reindeer. They got sugar cookies, oreos, milk, and even some cheese.

I think Beckam ate more than he left on the plate!

Just checking.

The boys got to watch a little of The Christmas Story before crashing. Then Sam and I stayed up for several more hours getting all the last minute things done to be ready for Christmas morning.
